Inverlochy Castle Ruins
Highlight • Historical Site
This new fort was then replaced by a stone fort called ‘Fort William’ and the town that grew around it went on to take the same name. The ruins are a fascinating place to explore and there are lots of information boards so you can learn about the history.

Luibeilt Bothy Ruins
Highlight • Historical Site
A former deer stalking lodge, now in ruins, the building had been adapted for use as a bothy.
The men, whose story has been recounted by Phil for BBC Radio 4's Uncanny show (listen here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0013218)
"Almost the minute we blew out our candle there were noises upstairs." First they heard footsteps, then noises of the bed being put together followed by what sounded like the rock from the window sill being rolled across the floor.
Phil next recalls being awoken at 04:00 when the living room "erupted" with the sounds of objects - including the men's ice axes - being thrown "all over the place" in the darkness.
"I am absolutely petrified," says Phil. Phil lit a candle but it was sent "flying across the room".
Next, the sound of footsteps again, but this time stomping down a spiral staircase from the upstairs to the closed living room door. Grabbing his ice axe, Phil went to the door and threw it open but he says no-one was there.
