Corpach (Scottish Gaelic: A' Chorpaich) is a large village north of Fort William, in the Scottish Highlands. The canal lock at Corpach Basin on Loch Linnhe, east of the narrows leading to Loch Eil, is the western sea entrance of the Caledonian Canal. It is a natural harbour, unlike Fort William.
History
The name Corpach is reputedly based on the Gaelic for "field of corpses", so called because it was perhaps used as a resting place when taking coffins of chieftains on the way to burial on Iona.
The Battle of Corpach in about 1470 saw Clan Cameron rout Clan MacLean.
In World War I, the United States Navy had a base at Corpach as part of the laying of the North Sea Mine Barrage.Naval mines were shipped into Corpach from the United States, and were then sent to the Inverness base along the Caledonian Canal, which joins Loch Linnhe at Corpach.
During World War II, Corpach was the engineering base for HMS St Christopher which was a training base for Royal Navy Coastal Forces. Some of the buildings are still in use. There was a large camp at Annat, now used as a caravan site.

All The Good In This Life
by: GarbageOnce when I was a girl
I could've given you a ride for your money
Oh but how times have changed
Although you do look cute in those red cowboy boots
No you don't mess around
But you're just a kid
You don't know what it takes
No one can stop you now
Anymore than they can tell the wind not to blow
Who's going to run to you now?
With the riders in the dirt back on Aztalan turf
I can't tell you what to do
You're free as a bird
Go do what you've got to do
Don't you worry boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
Don't you worry boy
Life will come and find you
You're going to blow their minds
Show them all a thing or two
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself
All the good in this life wish for yourself
