  • Lochan na Fola pond reflects Stob Coire Raineach, a munro at the northeastern end of Buachaille Etive Beag ridge, in Glen Coe, Scotland, in the United Kingdom, Europe. Glen Coe is perhaps the most scenic and historic valley in Scotland. Glen Coe is traversed by the River Coe and the A82 road, in the north of Argyll county, close to the border with Lochaber. Glen Coe is the remains of an extinct supervolcano (erupted 420 million years ago during the Silurian period), one of the best examples of subsidence calderas. Heavy glaciation ending 10,000 years ago carved this U-shaped valley. The 1692 Massacre of Glencoe happened near Glencoe village at the foot of the valley. Glen Coe is part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. This image was stitched from several overlapping photos.

  • A twisted pine tree grows beside purple heather flowers at the foot of Ben Nevis, on the trail to Steall Gorge (or Nevis Gorge) and Steall Waterfall, in the valley of Glen Nevis near Fort William, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe. One of the best short hikes in Scotland ascends 220 m to the falls (3.5 km / 2.25 miles round trip) via Nevis Gorge, an area owned by the John Muir Trust, which is attempting to restore wilderness here after centuries of burning and grazing. This image was stitched from several overlapping photos.

  • Steall Waterfall in the valley of Glen Nevis near Fort William, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe. Steall Falls is Scotland's second highest waterfall, with a single drop of 120 meters or 393 ft. One of the best short hikes in Scotland ascends 220 m to the falls (3.5 km / 2.25 miles round trip) via Nevis Gorge, an area owned by the John Muir Trust, which is attempting to restore wilderness here after centuries of burning and grazing.

  • On the trail via Steall Gorge (or Nevis Gorge) to Steall Waterfall, in the valley of Glen Nevis near Fort William, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe. One of the best short hikes in Scotland ascends 220 m to Steall Falls (3.5 km / 2.25 miles round trip) via Nevis Gorge, an area owned by the John Muir Trust, which is attempting to restore wilderness here after centuries of burning and grazing. Hidden in the clouds is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles. Standing at 1345 meters (4411 ft), it is at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in the Lochaber area of the Scottish Highlands. The 700-metre (2300 ft) cliffs of the north face are among the highest in Scotland. The summit, which is the collapsed dome of an ancient volcano, features the ruins of an observatory which was continuously staffed between 1883 and 1904. The meteorological data collected during this period are still important for understanding Scottish mountain weather. C. T. R. Wilson was inspired to invent the cloud chamber after a period spent working at the observatory.
