Getting to Fort William

By plane

Inverness Airport is the closest, but since you need to hire a car anyway it's better to use Glasgow Airport. Glasgow Airport has a better choice of flights and fares. Turn west onto M8 and cross the Erskine Bridge to join A82 northwards past Loch Lomond; maybe 2 hr 30 min to drive. Oban Airport has flights to the Hebrides (effectively a flying school bus) but no connection to the mainland air network.

By train

Trains from Glasgow Queen Street take four hours via Dumbarton, Helensburgh, Arrochar & Tarbet (for Loch Lomond), Crianlarich (where a portion divides for Oban) and Spean Bridge. There are five daytime trains M-Sa and two on Sunday. They continue west on the scenic West Highland Line to Glenfinnan, Arisaig and Mallaig, for ferries to Skye.
