There has been considerable fanfare over the arrival and installation of the new bronze Model T Ford, complete with driver Henry Alexander, in Cameron Square in the centre of Fort William. Quite rightly, too.
The new statue is a striking, even stunning, piece of work that will prove to be an eye-catching addition to the town.
It was gratifying to see so many people come out to witness the unveiling of what will become an iconic item of street furniture. It was also heart-warming to watch the highly colourful procession of 52 beautifully restored and maintained Model T Fords along Fort William’s High Street.
