Mountain View has a connection to the original Fort William of the early 1800s. Many of the first burials to Mountain View were actually transferred from the original fort cemetery which was close to the east end of Donald St.
The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) had a German field cannon placed in the military plot at Mountain View after the First World War. It is still there and has been recently restored.
Also find out which Fort William couple were once in-laws of British knight and film producer Sir Alexander Korda and which local motel he paid to have built.
