Residents in Fort William will be able to stay better connected as they become the latest community to receive free WiFi.
The free WiFi has been rolled out in the town’s city centre to keep the area a competitive place in the tourism market.
The project, funded by the Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal, was piloted in Inverness City Centre and has since been rolled out to the wider city and severla communities across the north.
Chair of the Lochaber Committee, Councillor Andrew Baxter said: “This project is fantastic news for Fort William and I am sure it will be welcomed by everyone who lives here, as well as our many thousands of visitors.
“Digital connectivity is essential these days for daily life and the free access to WiFi will enable visitors and locals to make the most of local businesses by checking what’s on, where to visit in Lochaber, opening hours, accommodation and prices, as well as finding local job opportunities and keeping in touch with family and friends.
Phase three of the initiative will see 14 communities across the Highland connected to the scheme including, Alness, Dingwall, Dornoch, Drumnadrochit, Fort Augustus, Invergordon, Nairn, Portree, Tain, Thurso, Ullapool and Wick.
