In our opinion this is the best Indian in Fort William. They also have a takeaway option. Serve until 11 pm which is a bonus. If booking ask for a window table as you have views over Loch Linnhe.

We absolutely love walking through Steall Gorge at the top of Glen Nevis to the meadow with the stunning waterfall at the end of it. This is a great walk as you can make it as long or short as you need it to be. The rope bridge at the end also provides a fun challenge!
