Steall Falls

Steall Waterfall, also known as An Steall Bàn or Steall Falls, is situated in Glen Nevis near Fort William, Highland, Scotland. It is Scotland's second-highest waterfall, and also the second highest in the United Kingdom, with a single drop of 120 metres (390 feet).

Lagangarbh at night

11:30pm provided the high pressure Saturday had been lacking. Clear skies and low wind, with a full moon gave us a beautiful night.

Lagangarbh Hut

The Scottish Mountaineering Club hut at Lagangarbh is remembered in climbing folklore as where the brilliant but rebellious young climber Dougal Haston enraged the staid SMC authorities by redecorating the interior in the style of Jackson Pollock, but unfortunately no sign of this paint job remains.
