📍 Corpach Wreck
🚙 Located on Caol Beach, with Ben Nevis overlooking it. There is a couple of car parks nearby, which are just a short walk down to the wreck.
🥾 Beautiful walk along the shore, with not only the shipwreck to explore, but being overlooked by the majestic (and tallest) peak in the United Kingdom.
🤤 Some lovely coffee spots nearby, we would recommend:
Cabin food stop
Kilted camel
The fort coffee collective
Nevis cafe
Wildcat
Aroma cafe
🏴 A former fishing boat that sits, unmoved, at an odd angle on the shore of Loch Linnhe, residents of the town of Caol near Fort William discovered this odd wreck in 2011. Whilst local lore suggests it emerged from stormy waters to take in the majesty of nearby Ben Nevis, no one has ever fully understood why the boat – built in 1975 - emerged from the water and onto the shore. In its day it was a fishing vessel called MV Dayspring.

At the foot of Ben Nevis you will find the Corpach Shipwreck near Fort William. This iconic fishing vessel against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands is one of the most dramatic sights in Scotland. Would you add it to your bucket list?
Corpach Shipwreck ⚓️
One of Scotland’s best sights lies just outside of Fort William. 🛥️
Located in Corpach, the Corpach Shipwreck, is also known as the Old Boat of Caol.
Built in 1975, she was an old fishing vessel that was moored at Kinlochleven Pier in 2001. Unfortunately in 2011, a heavy storm caused a chain to fail and she ran aground and has been there ever since.
DIRECTIONS 🗺️
To get to the Corpach Shipwreck, you will want to park at the Corpach train station. Cross over one of the footbridges so that you are on the beachside of the canal and not the car park side. Follow the path (which is known as the Great Glen Way) away from the car park until you find a break in the trees that can take you down onto the beach. (save for your trip)

The Corpach Wreck, also known as the "Old Boat of Caol," is the remains of the fishing vessel MV Dayspring (built 1975) resting on Caol Beach near Fort William, Scotland. Following a severe storm in 2011, it broke from its mooring and ran aground, becoming a popular, accessible, and frequently photographed, scenic landmark against the backdrop of Ben Nevis.

I am so glad I went to see the Corpach Shipwreck. It’s only a 7 mins drive from Fort William 🏴
An old wrecked boat at Corpach in Scotland. The mountain in the background is Ben Nevis which is the highest in the UK. I can't believe I didn't check the tide times for this image but in my defence they were terrible all week either early or late and there was so much to see in Scotland It wasn't possible to arrange around tide times.
