Uncommon card · No. 117077

Fort William is a town in the Lochaber region of the Scottish Highlands, located at the head of Loch Linnhe. At the 2011 census, Fort William had a population of 15,757, making it the second-largest settlement in both the Highland council area and in the Scottish Highlands as a whole; only the city of Inverness has a larger population. Fort William is a major tourist centre with Glen Coe just to the south, Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr to the east, and Glenfinnan to the west. It is the start and end of the Road to the Isles. It is a huge centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis, the largest mountain in Scotland and the United Kingdom, and many other Munros. It is also known for its nearby downhill mountain bike track. It forms the terminus of both the West Highland Way (a walk/cycleway running to Milngavie) and the Great Glen Way (a walk/cycleway running to Inverness). Around 726 people (7.33% of the population) can speak Scottish Gaelic.
