Highland Council

The Highland Council

The Highland Council is our local government in the Fort William and Lochaber area. We have 6 elected Councillors who represent almost 20,000 people in the Lochaber area. The Highland Council deliver local services like any local government.

Lochaber is just one part of the Highlands, situated in the South West corner and covering from Mallaig and the Small Isles down to the awe-inspiring Glencoe. It is an area rich in diversity and extremes. Its 4,468 square kilometres encompass Britain's highest peak, deepest loch and most westerly mainland point. With a population of 19,620, its rurality is demonstrated by a population density of 4.6 persons per square kilometre.

Based in the most northerly area of mainland Scotland, The Highland Council’s services cover an area of 10,000 square miles, an area greater than that of Belgium. The Council spends around £412 million each year on the provision of a wide range of essential services for the 210,000 people living in the Highland area.
