Ben Nevis and Caol near Fort William (Ref 0029)
© Angus Johnston
Ben Nevis (Gaelic: Beinn Nibheis) is the highest
mountain in Scotland and the United Kingdom. It is located in the Lochaber
area of Scotland, close to the coastal town of Fort William.
Known simply as "The Ben" to many walkers and climbers, it attracts an
estimated 100,000 visitors a year, around three-quarters of whom use the
well-constructed pony track from Glen Nevis on the south side of the
mountain. For climbers and mountaineers the main attraction lies in the
700-metre-high cliffs of the north face. Among the highest cliffs in
Britain, they harbour some classic scrambles and rock climbs of all
difficulties, and are one of the principal locations in the UK for ice
climbing.
