Is the cost of living in Fort William high?

We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Fort William, they wrote:

"The cost of living in Fort William, is considered to be relatively moderate. Housing costs are generally affordable, with rental prices being lower than in larger cities such as Edinburgh or Glasgow. The cost of groceries and dining out is also reasonable, although it can be slightly higher than in other parts of the UK due to the town's remote location. Public transportation is not very expensive, but owning and maintaining a car can add to living costs, especially considering the high petrol prices. Utility bills, including electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage, are also a significant part of the monthly budget. Health care is generally free under the National Health Service, but private health insurance can add to the cost. Overall, while Fort William is not the cheapest place to live in the UK, it is also not the most expensive, offering a balanced cost of living," wrote a person living in Fort William.
