I know the article was short and vague, but - correct me if I'm wrong - I thought Cromwell built a small citadel in the Lochaber region, which was about 50 years later superseded by a stone fort built with the more specific aim of controlling the region in mind. --Dweir
Errr, could be. I know Cromwell built a wooden stockade, and I assumed that was "Fort William" too. I'm not familiar with the circumstances with the changeover to the stone structure. -- Paul Drye
Do we need this level of disambiguation? I wouldn't have thought there were that many Fort Williams in the world. -- John ( talk) 22:05, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
"French loan-words in the Gaelic language are very rare" - There are actually quite a few. Not very common, but not uncommon either.-- MacRùsgail ( talk) 15:16, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Lol, you should maybe take a look at the English, Norse and Latin loanwords into Gaelic, as well as Brittonic ones. Gaelic is not some "pure" language anymore than English is. English is just English. Gaelic is just Gaelic. They're not 'essentially' anything other than what they are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.79.113 ( talk) 20:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to Fort William, Scotland. ( closed by non-admin page mover) The Night Watch (talk) 19:37, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Fort William, Highland → Fort William, Lochaber – Per WP:SCOTLANDPLACE. Convention is to disambiguate settlements in the Highland Council area by their district rather than the council area as a whole. Stevie fae Scotland ( talk) 19:31, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
