Steall Falls

Having waved goodbye to my dad, and been reunited with my car at Bridge of Orchy, I drove to Fort William in search of somewhere to pitch my tent. Having settled on a "car camp" rather than a backpack, I went for a short walk.



Glen Nevis is a picturesque valley at the foot of Ben Nevis. The road eventually hits a dead end, and then there is a path through a gorge out to Steall. The waterfall is one of the biggest in Scotland, and is spectacular when in spate. The steep slopes to the North lead to Ben Nevis and Aonach Beag, and to the South is the "Ring of Steall".
