Crannog at Garrison West

Fort William's Crannog seafood restaurant, now cooking in the town centre at Garrison West on Cameron Square, with seafood platters, scallops and oysters.

Welcome

Crannog has long been one of Fort William's best-known places to eat seafood, and it has now moved into the town centre, to Garrison West on Cameron Square, an old stone building a short walk from the High Street.

The menu mixes Crannog's seafood with pub food and a bar. On the menu are seafood platters with large scallops, fresh oysters, mussels in a rich sauce and seafood tagliatelle.

Crannog opens every day for lunch from noon and for dinner from five, and booking ahead is a good idea in the busy months. It makes a fine end to a day on Ben Nevis or in Glen Nevis.
