4OO foot Steall Falls and The Waters of Nevis at the head of Glen Nevis and its gorge.

            Commentary.


After a three mile trek to the head of this four thousand foot valley, ice-scoured over tens of thousands of years,
a hanging valley sheds its stream in a glorious “mare’s-tail” drop, down a sheer rock face.
Mosses, lichens and silver birch thrive in the misty spray of the torrent around the plunge-pool.
Diving, splicing, tumbling, plunging, bouncing burn.
A white-water delight as it cascades into the mighty and ancient valley.
What a reward for the effort of precariously edging along the verdant six hundred foot gorge.
All senses are triggered by this magnificent, towering spectacle, A stunning, shimmering marvel.
The essence of life framed by a lush, living, saturated rock wall.
Awe, wonder, pleasure, solace, Nirvana!
