A Fort William Adventure: Part One - Walking to Steall Falls in Glen Nevis.

Join me on a short (but wild!) walk through stunning Glen Nevis to the 2nd highest waterfall in Scotland. The weather wasn't onside during this trip but I was determined to push on!
Steall Falls is in the Nevis Gorge, just a short drive (or walk) from Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. I'd thoroughly recommend this walk if you are in the area - I'll be honest, I knew nothing about it, but the drive there and setting of the waterfall is hard to beat! I believe it was featured in the Harry Potter movies, and WalkHighlands describe it as 'One of the best short walks in Scotland'. Easy to see why.
This is Part One of a Double Bill! Part Two will follow in the coming week :)
Filmed on location in Scotland on Thursday 10th February 2022.

Thx man we went to scotland almost 15 years ago and we kinda stumbled upon that carpark and walked up to the waterfall. I remember the toursists with italian loafers having to turn around halfway for obvious reasons (like the scottish will warm you for nothing...) Couldn't remember where it was but your video made it clear it was this one recognized the sign warning for the proper shoes, we both looked at each other and said that should be fun. Thx for the video, now I can sleep again knowing which waterfall it was.😊

You have gone that extra mile again Steve, that walk to Steall Falls and back looked treacherous, but the sight of the falls was stunning 🤩 and worth risking you neck for! not sure about that hideous tight rope contraption spanning the river!! that’s a bridge too far I fear 😧 as for the Hotel Cell room, phew! no way! looking forward to part 2. you are now our own Scottish (Braveheart) without a doubt! “👌” 🤗

Steve, I truly enjoy going with you virtually on your explorations. And this one was magnificent. I was reminded of my small group walking tour in the Outer Hebrides a few years back. We also had some treacherous walks in drech weather. However, I also felt a bit fearful for you being out there alone. I'd feel damn badly if something went wrong. I'd be a little less concerned if someone else went with you on explorations like this one. Stay safe.

I did cross the three wire bridge. While I was out bouncing around Bertha remembered I had the car keys. A new travel rule was born: When Jim is going to do something stupid, Bertha gets the car keys. Cheers and again thanks, Jim.

I’ve probably posted before that I got my first car in 1969 and a mate who had just qualified as a gardener at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens decided to teach me to drive on a 2000 mile trip around Scotland. We crisscrossed east to west and north to south and I learned a lot driving on single track roads where I learned to try and anticipate meeting a car coming the other way at a passing place without having to stop. Applecross didn’t have a coast road then I wasn’t allowed to drive over the Pass of the Cattle but was allowed to drive back. The fifty odd years have dimed my memory but I do remember “driving up Ben Nevis”, I wonder if the car park you left the van at was where we also stopped. Apart from a couple of days in Edinburgh after we married we didn’t visit Scotland again until we discovered Shearings Bay Hotels when we stayed at the Caledonian Hotel in Fort William in November 2012. The autumn scenery was stunning and up to 2 years ago we came back at least twice a year, we should have made our second visit to Portpatrick in March 2020, hopefully if restrictions are removed we can come again in April this year, we are both missing our Scotland fix.

One of my favourite places for views in the UK. Fort William may not be much but the surrounding views! I had a friend who lived just above Fort William in Banavie and her view of the Ben was spectacular. One of her sons is a mountain rescuer so she had a soft spot for the mountain. I wanted to see the Ben because I come from a tiny nation of two islands called St. Kitts and Nevis.

Great video as ever Steve. Some friends and I spent a week in Fort William ten years ago and after tackling Ben Nevis we were looking for something else to do so decided on Steall Falls. It was indeed a lovely walk but this was in August and we were (very foolishly) unprepared for the midges. Nightmare! I ended up with them all over any exposed skin and in my hair. I remember rinsing my hair in the stream just to get some relief. Fabulous place though. Keep up the good work Steve. I know the travel restrictions over the last couple of years have curtailed some of your international trips but I’ve particularly enjoyed the Scottish ones so thanks for those.

Great video! I managed to get up Ben Nevis in 2020...at the tender age of 66...got the full set now Snowdon, Sca Fell pike and the Ben. Been visiting Fort William ever since, great base for adventures...usually camp at Glen Nevis campsite. Will definitely walk up to the Falls this spring. Thanks for showing it to us!

Oh my goodness - that cell at the end!!! Thank you for persevering with the weather Steve and showing us such a magnificent waterfall. I've driven a few miles along Glen Nevis and I have pictures of my dog playing in the river, but I've never driven till the road peters out. It was so nice to see it again.

Along a treacherous path in a hoolie with our Steve, that's certainly an adventure! Then he ends up in a cell! Glen Nevis is amazing, but can be quite midgy in summer. I wonder where Steve is going in part 2.
