THE LAST weekend in April – or first in May, depending on the year – is one of the busiest in Fort William’s calendar as the high season begins and crowds descend on the town for the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT).
In the days leading up to the SSDT and the Pre-65 trials, there is an influx of motorcycle fans all wanting to be part of this international event, as well as the 280 riders who come from all over the world, their crews, press teams and families.
However, it would appear that the Highland Council and town officials may have taken their eye off the ball this year, leading to parking difficulties in the town centre.
