The village of Corpach is on the road west towards Loch
Eil and Mallaig.
During Victorian times, paddle steamers sailed up Loch Linnhe
into the bay at Corpach and then into the Caledonian Canal as early
travellers journeyed to Loch Ness and Inverness in the north.
Corpach grew in the 1970s as incoming workers were employed at
the then new Pulp and
Paper Mill. The sawmill developed and expanded as it handled growing
quantities of felled trees used to make pulp and supply the building
industry with timber. small industrial units as well as boat
building are also part of a thriving village. Today, Corpach enjoys
a balance of some industry and tourism in a rural area.
Corpach lies at the entrance to the Caledonian Canal and so shipping
and general marine activities are normal for a small community
located next to a large navigable sea loch.
The village has its own community centre and gardens. A small selection
of local shops, an hotel, a restaurant service the locals and visitors.
There are a large number of B & Bs, guesthouses, self-catering
accommodation and bunkhouses to suit everyone and since Corpach
is only 15 minutes into Fort William town centre, you don't need
to feel you have to stay in the town centre.
