Steall waterfall Glen Nevis


Steall waterfall Glen Nevis.

Superb day out yesterday at Steall waterfall in the shadow of Ben Nevis. There were many holidaymakers enjoying the walk up Glen Nevis to Steall where the waterfall reflected the recent wet weather. Although the walk can be quite tricky in places, it is well worth the effort.
