Another 'plastic' log. I was in the town today and walked along the loch front and the pier was here today too! Wonderful views if you get the weather though (we were lucky). Gave a nod to the (long since gone) lamp but this, in reality, is pretty much all you can do.

Couldn't get that close so will go with those that suggest current lamp is not old enough.

I will go other recent logs that nothing at the end of the pier is the right vintage. Seems consistent with OS view.

several modern lights on end of pier (underwater centre) none of which appear to of the correct vintage. Both the Rivet and Lamp are marked as destroyed by OS

WHW#10: rather an insignificant trig to mark the end of an excellent walk, but we made it to Fort William. Also good view of Camusnagaul across the water, but no way we were going to get there! Astonishingly considering this was one of Scotland's wettest summers, we saw only 3 hours of rain in 12 days. However the wee winged beasties certainly got their revenge...

Looks like a lamp at the location (which is on private property)

Fort William Pier Lamp ..a replacement lamp?

OS records this as destroyed May 1993 so unsure why most loggers are classifying it as 'Good'. There is a lamp at the pier end which can be seen in my photo, but this is clearly a modern replacement. I walked the entire length of the peir only being challenged on returning (and told in no uncertain terms I shouldn't be there and to leave immediately - to which I was happy to comply having achieved the objective). OS also records a rivet with same stn number, destroyed September 1987.

Seems no public access but gps and compass bearing from car park points at light on pole on office roof at pier end consistent with beacon symbol on map. Just looks rather modern though: has it been replaced?

Light on roof... but is it THE light?

No evidence that there is a lamp or beacon here which would be expected from the symbol on the OS map. The pier is now occupied by a private company hence all the containers.
