The old Fort William Police Station, formerly located in the heart of Fort William, was a well-known landmark in this bustling Highland town. Serving the community for many years, the station was a hub of local law enforcement, playing a key role in the town’s history and daily life. Situated near the town centre, the building was easily recognisable and was part of the fabric of Fort William’s civic life.

In recent years, the police station relocated to a more modern facility to better serve the needs of the growing community. The old building, with its characteristic architecture, now stands as a reminder of the town’s past. While no longer in use by the police, the building continues to be a part of Fort William’s identity, reflecting the town’s rich history and evolution over time. The move to the new station marked the end of an era but also signaled progress in adapting to contemporary needs while preserving the heritage of this Highland town.

The old Fort William Police Station has been transformed into The Garrison Hotel, a unique accommodation option located on the High Street. This stylish boutique hotel retains much of the building’s original character, including authentic prison cells that have been converted into quirky, comfortable bunk rooms. The hotel offers a blend of history and modern amenities, providing a memorable stay for visitors. The Garrison Hotel is now a popular choice for travelers seeking a distinctive experience in the heart of Fort William​
