The return of the Fort William Picture House? Yes please!

I found out this afternoon that plans are afoot for the cinema in Cameron Square in Fort William to reopen. This got me very excited. Dave and I started visiting Fort William about 12 years ago to go climbing. On rest/rainy days you would often find us in the cinema watching films that had been released back home in Glasgow a good number of months before. I’ll never forget the first time it rained whilst we were watching a film and realising that the cinema had a tin roof that the rain was just absolutely stoating off and drowning out the film. And then the curtains shut half way through the film for a break; now that never happened in the UGC.

Back in Glasgow, I used to visit the silver screen at least a couple of times a week (I clearly had too much time on my hands in those days) but I now have to rely on getting my fix of the flicks delivered through my letterbox due to the nearest cinema being 60 miles away but would love, love, love to see a cinema back in the Fort so, please, comment here if you would like to see the return of the cinema in Fort William, or maybe you live in some far-flung place in the world where a local cinema is really appreciated, let me know and I’ll pass your comments on and hopefully that will help persuade them to reopen that lovely cinema, though hopefully without the intervals?
