  • Formally known as the Lower Weather Observatory with direct links to Ben Nevis.
    Now a Luxury Guest House on the shores of Loch Linnhe Fort William. In the 1890’s and early 1900’s, pioneering meteorologists raised the funds to built a weather observatory on the summit of Ben Nevis, and also a new home for the Observatory Superintendent. Glentower was where the telegraph signals came in from the summit and were transmitted to Liverpool and other main shipping ports, where warnings for gales were provided for ship owners and skippers.

    Today, Glentower is possibly Fort William’s most historical link to the past… Majestically placed on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Glentower Lower Observatory offers Luxury accommodation with stunning views of Loch Linnhe and the Ardgour Hills. The centre of Fort William is only 5 minutes’ walk away.
