About Fort William
Fort William, nestled at the foot of Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands, is a town renowned for its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and status as the “Outdoor Capital of the UK.” Located on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Fort William serves as a gateway to some of Scotland’s most spectacular landscapes, attracting hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts from across the globe.
The town’s origins date back to the 17th century when a fort was built to control and pacify the Highlands during periods of unrest. Named after King William III, the fort played a significant role during the Jacobite uprisings. Today, while little of the original fort remains, the town continues to reflect its historical roots through its heritage sites, including the nearby ruins of Old Inverlochy Castle.
Fort William is best known for its proximity to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. Standing at 1,345 meters, Ben Nevis attracts thousands of climbers and hikers every year. The mountain offers challenging routes for experienced mountaineers, as well as the more accessible Mountain Track for those looking for a less technical ascent. In winter, the nearby Nevis Range provides opportunities for skiing and snowboarding.
The town also serves as a key stop on two iconic long-distance walking routes: the West Highland Way, which runs from Milngavie to Fort William, and the Great Glen Way, which continues from Fort William to Inverness. For rail enthusiasts, the Jacobite Steam Train offers a nostalgic journey across the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potterfilms, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding lochs and hills.
Beyond outdoor pursuits, Fort William boasts a lively town center with shops, cafes, and local eateries where visitors can sample traditional Scottish fare. The nearby Glen Nevis valley, with its lush greenery and cascading waterfalls, is perfect for a leisurely day of exploration. With its combination of natural wonders, historical intrigue, and welcoming atmosphere, Fort William remains a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Scottish Highlands
TESTme Health provides multiple diagnostic testing for allergies, food intolerance, health and rapid health testing kits

Iain Gallacher (Fort William Nov 20th 2024)
I’ve had gut health issues on and off for ages and after no luck from GP appointments in Fort Williiam. I knew I needed to take matters into my own hands. This was easier said than done with lots of companies over-promising and under-delivering. I ended up pressing pause on finding a solution.
After a good friend passed on Iona’s details, raving about the service. I instantly knew this was THE solution. From my first point of contact, Iona was professional and friendly, but more importantly empathetic and charismatic. The process is simple and you can tell Iona has put a lot of thought into streamlining the service within Fort William and beyond.
Iona posted a test out to my home address and then once completed, I shipped to a lab for processing. The results came back quickly, and detailed what foods were problematic and what foods weren’t. This was exactly what I was looking for, and what I tried to find for years.
I can now look ahead and plan meals that won’t affect the rest of my day, my mood, my lifestyle. Iona may just say she’s “doing her job” but she goes above and beyond to help her clients get back to feeling good and gaining some clarity over issues they’ve probably pushed aside in their busy lives.
If you’ve suffered with gut or other health issues, please contact Iona today – highly recommend her and the service she provides!!

Alyson Gates (Fort William Sept 22nd 2024)
I went on a return trip to TESTme in Sept24 with my husband as he was having health problems. Hoping Iona can sort him out as she did me!
I went to Iona in June 2023 (over a year ago) suffering from migraines every fortnight which lasted 2-3 days. I had had every avenue explored by the doctor, including a brain scan, being told it is probably my age, etc. A friend then recommended Iona at TESTme Health. As anyone who suffers from migraines knows, one will try anything to stop them.
Following the consultation and allergy test with Iona, I immediately went home and changed my diet – no dairy, no eggs and no gluten. To say it has been life-changing is an understatement. I’ve not had a migraine since – have had the odd headache when I didn’t read the labels and consumed something which contained gluten.
I am fine with eggs now, having introduced them into my diet after 6mths. I’ve had dairy these past 4mths, but only if I am out in a restaurant.
Definitely not gluten as that is the root cause of my migraines from the one or two pitfalls I’ve had since June 2023.
Well worth the trip and money, which is why I have my husband attending this month to sort his health problems out too.
