Click above for a bigger picture The West Highland Hotel has a varied and interesting history. It was first built in the early part of the twentieth century to coincide with the coming of the railway and was originally named the Station Hotel. The famous West Highland Line runs from Fort William all the way to Mallaig, and if possible you should take this train journey some time during your stay, as it is said to be one of the most beautiful in the world. Unfortunatly on the 8th of February 1927 a huge fire destroyed the hotel and it had to be totally rebuilt. The most prestigious event in the hotel's most recent history was the 1999 visit of the Princess Royal, Princess Anne.
