Ben Mhor
Ben Mhor, or ‘Big Ben’, a striking 14 Feet tall sculpture made of recycled mountain bike parts, was created by Ewan Lawrie and unveiled in February 2013. The statue stands beside Loch Linnhe on the Old Town Pier in Fort William looking up to the peaks at Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr that inspired it.

Loch Linnhe, Scotland
Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning "pool". The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh (the black pool, originally known as Loch Abar), and downstream as An Linne Sheileach (the salty pool).
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault. Approximately 31 miles in length, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its south western end. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.
