The Great Glen - JD Wetherspoon

You'll find The Great Glen right on Fort William's High Street, which means it's impossible to miss and genuinely convenient whether you're popping in after work or passing through town. It's a Wetherspoon, so you know what you're getting: solid value for money, a decent selection of cask ales and spirits, and the kind of no-nonsense menu that does the basics properly. The atmosphere is refreshingly unpretentious—you're sitting alongside locals nursing pints, tourists grabbing a quick bite before heading up the mountain, and everyone's just getting on with it. The food's cheap and cheerful (full breakfast under a tenner), and the drinks prices mean you're not wincing when you order a second round.
