This was the view from our hotel room in Fort William on Monday morning.
Ben Nevis is up there somewhere. Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK. The summit is 4000 feet above sea level, and 4 miles from the shore. The last time I was there, there was snow on it. Fortunately, the weather was much nicer this time.
The object for this morning was to see The Jacobite steam train. That's one thing I was disappointed to have missed on the last trip - a steam train. I found a guide to photographers who wanted to photograph it on Glenfinnan Viaduct, from a couple of years ago. They recommended you be there before the train leaves Fort William, so you can find a place to park and walk up the hills. I'm not sure, but we might have gotten there by then, but the parking lot was full, and the overflow parking lot was full, and everyplace else was full, including the places that said you couldn't park there. We stopped in one of them anyway.

( many pictures this day )
This is the view from our bedroom window. When we first got into the room, the setting sun was still on the mountains across the sound, but by the time I could get a picture, it was gone.
