So I have a quandary around the logistics of a trip to Skye for a couple of days. I need to be there Wednesday and Thursday with an early start on Wednesday morning so basically I need to be there the night before. However, I dont have enough annual leave to book the day off before to travel and it's around a 7 hour journey! So my plan is to leave home Monday after work and get half way, kip in the back of my berlingo and then work the Tuesday during the day before then carrying on after work the remaining distance. So I'll have my laptop and portal monitor etc. and just need somewhere to work for the day. I've had a look but can't figure out somewhere to work for the day around Fort William. Does anybody have any suggestion or know somewhere suitable?
I would try Fort William library ort possibly Voluntary Action Lochaber.

The WiFi at FW Gondola is perfectly acceptable but it's not the quietest workplace ever. It certainly does a job though if required and the cafe is very nice. They'll let you use the power socket if you ask nicely too
Is there a Starbucks?
In my humble opinion, the best thing about Fort William is to not be in Fort William.
How about dedicated Hot Desking space in a cafe, a bit further up the road towards Skye for only £5 per day?
Hot Desking at Dundreggan Rewilding Centre
I was just about to mention dundreggan. Haven’t used the hot desks there but it’s a splendid place to be
Yeah I saw dundreggan this morning while googling but I’m not sure if it might be a bit too much further. I’ll have another look and work it out.
Hadn’t considered libraries so that’s a good shout. I’m happy to pay but would really rather not just a cafe.
Yeah Dundreggan is six hours away so just a little bit too far considering I’ll leave home at 5pm. Not sure I can manage six hours without falling asleep!

Strong contender for the UK's shittest town in comparison to its surroundings.
Can't disagree with the above, although we went to the Highland Cinema a year or so back and that was a nice space. They have a bar/restaurant that I imagine you can work at in a pinch.
