Corpach

Corpach, a large village north of Fort William, sits at the entrance to the Caledonian Canal.  Historically, it served as a resting place for coffins of Clan chieftains on their way to Iona.  The village gets its name, "Corpach" meaning "field of corpses" in Gaelic, from this practice.  Explore the Corpach shipwreck, also known as the Old Boat of Caol, a rusting reminder of the MV Dayspring fishing vessel.

For a fascinating look into the earth's treasures, visit the Treasures of the Earth museum, showcasing minerals, gemstones, and fossils. Stock up on groceries at the Co-op Food store, or treat yourself to delicious baked goods from the Nevis Bakery just outside Corpach. While Corpach itself doesn't have a bustling nightlife scene, Fort William, a short distance away, offers a variety of options.  The Grog & Gruel is a traditional alehouse with a warm atmosphere, while Sunny's Sports Bar caters to sports fans with live music shows. If you're looking for a cozy pub experience, head to The Volunteer Arms. And for a party vibe on weekends, Roobarb is a popular choice.
