The Lochaber area in Scotland is a large rural part of the Scottish west Highlands. Lochaber welcomes vistors and travellers to the Highlands on the A82 by Rannoch Moor in the south; it stretches all the way to the sea coastline including Ardnamurchan and Mallaig in the west, and includes the historical area of Glen Spean in the north-east and of course the Great Glen in the north – on the way to Loch Ness. 

​Lochaber’s “capital” – the Highland town of Fort William sits at the head of Loch Linnhe and at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest and most popular mountain in the British Isles.
