Steall Falls (An Steall Bàn), tucked deep into Glen Nevis near Fort William, is one of Scotland’s highest waterfalls. The cascade drops roughly 120 metres (390 feet) and has been carving its rocky amphitheatre for more than 10,000 years. Surrounded by ancient Caledonian woodland, the glen is a Site of Special Scientific Interest rich in alpine plants and wildlife. Visitors follow a 2.2‑mile trail that weaves through mossy gorges and across a grassy meadow before a dramatic finale: a single‑span wire bridge over the River Nevis, beyond which the waterfall tumbles in a silver ribbon. The setting feels wild and remote, framed by towering mountains and vibrant greenery.
