About Glasgow
<p>The founder and patron saint of the city of Glasgow was Kentigern (better known as Mungo,) who was a missionary in the in the late sixth century. He was made a patron saint because he performed four miracles. The symbols of the four miracles were included in Glasgow’s coat of arms. </p>

About Fort William
<p>A major tourist center, Fort William is one of the largest towns in Scotland's Highlands. <a href="https://www.routeperfect.com/united-kingdom/glen-coe">Glen Coe</a> is just to the south, Aonach Mor to the east and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. Fort William, as its name suggests, was an army fort built by the English forces on the banks of Loch Linnhe, reason being that they could control the local Scottish clans. The town is boasts to have the highest mountain in the <a href="https://www.routeperfect.com/united-kingdom">UK</a>, <a href="https://www.routeperfect.com/united-kingdom/ben-nevis">Ben Nevis</a> 1,345 meters, making it very popular resort for many year-round activities. In the winter the town is a center for ski and snow activities on the slopes of Ben Nevis and in the summer the same slopes become biking and hiking trails. </p>

About Inverness
<p>Inverness, meaning "Mouth of the River Ness" is the capital of the Scottish Highlands. The river Ness which flows from <a href="https://www.routeperfect.com/united-kingdom/loch-ness">Loch Ness</a> into the Beauly Firth divides this city. The city is the largest in the area and is dominated by the 19th century red-stone Inverness Castle (listed as a Category A building) which was built on the site of an older castle. Immortalized by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Inverness was a fortress but served as a government building in the last few decades. However, the castle is closed due to renovations and hopefully the castle will reopen to the public sometime in 2025.</p>
