Stramash Fort William Outdoor Nursery: Adventure in the Heart of the Highlands
Nestled on the banks of the River Lochy, by Inverlochy Castle, and in the shadow of the mighty Ben Nevis, lies the Stramash Fort William Outdoor Nursery campus.
Our expansive five-acre grassy area, complemented by woodland and the historic Inverlochy Castle, offers children a unique outdoor learning and play environment. At Stramash Fort William, children from the “UK’s Outdoor Capital” can explore, communicate, and thrive in nature’s classroom.
