If you haven't heard of Glencoe, google the crap out of it now (especially the stuff about the massacre, actually here is the link cause I know you are lazy). It's beautiful and epic and terrible.
We visited Glencoe back in 2007 on our bus tour during summer, and we've always wanted to see it again. We decided to use Fort William as our base for a couple of nights (stayed in a pretty crummy hotel..should have stayed at the backbackers) while we visited our mountainous lover once again.
Fort William is a nice little fishing village..it's trying to be more than it is with it's growing range of pubs etc on the main street, but it's still a fairly isolated spot. Beautiful surroundings though, if we ever win a massive fortune we would seriously look at creating a zombie fortress among the hills near Fort William.
We also saw lots of cool stuff on the way to Fort William from Aviemore, and also on the way down to Glencoe. The highlands are seriously among the best places on earth.
