Manchester/Scotland 2025 - Isle of Skye Tour to Fort Williams

The next town we pulled up in was Fort Williams, and it was just by the lake. If you're an Outlander fan, you would know about Fort Williams. I wasn't a fan when I went on this trip. But after the trip, I did eventually started watching the Outlander. The series hits different after you've visited the area that was mentioned in the series. Usually it's the other way around, I would read about a book or watched a show, and then I go visit the sights. Outlander was a total opposite for me, and to-date, I've completed season one, and half way through season two. Yes, I'm a slow watcher of series. and the Outlander has 8 seasons! The latest season 8 will actually be launched right after my 2nd trip to Scotland this year!

 

I think we got about one hour for our lunch break at Fort Williams. Again, it was kinda like a one street town, and unfortunately this was the only sight photo I got of it. 

As this was now the highlands, I did managed to get some photos of road signs. 


I thought the roadsigns were nice. And was hoping to catch some with Gaelic written on them. 


Here's the other side of the same road sign with a cute purple bus stop next to it. 


We couldn't find anything that wasn't a cafe-like place to for lunch. Eventually we found a fish and chip shop that fitted our budget. We went in, but it was actually run by an Indian family. I have been putting off eating Fish and Chips, but I guess I had no choice now. It was one of the cheapest thing to eat. Above is my husband's order, he selected grilled fish to be healthier. 


I'm more traditional, and I got the real deal Fish and Chips. And I don't regret it. It wasn't half bad! I quite enjoyed it if it weren't for the time crunch. I have having limited time to enjoy my meals!


After our brief lunch, while walking back to the bus, I saw this camel and took a photo of it. I thought it was hilarious. Plus, camels always reminds me of You Bastard from Discworld :P  This whole trip is like me exploring Discworld in real life! Lol.
