Liam Taylor made it 3-0 with six minutes remaining of the first half.
Fort William were reduced to 10 men when Andrew Martin was sent off before Allan Macphee made it 4-0 four minutes into the second half.
Shane Harkness then made it 5-0 with 15 minutes remaining.
The trophy is expected to be presented to Loch Ness at their final game against Alness United at King George V Park in Fortrose next Saturday at 2pm.
