Dating in Fort William and Lochaber
In shortFort William sits below Ben Nevis and draws people who love the hills. A shared walk is a natural date here, as long as you both like the same pace. Glen Nevis starts right on the edge of town.
A first date idea
Nevis Gorge to Steall Falls
The path starts at the Nevis Gorge car park at the end of the Glen Nevis road and runs about 4.5 km, so allow around an hour and a half. It ends at Steall Falls, 105 metres high and the third highest waterfall in Scotland. The path is narrow and steep-sided in places, so wear proper boots and skip the wire bridge if the river is high.
