Glen Nevis (from the Gaelic Gleann Nibheis )is a beautiful glen in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, with Fort William at its foot.
It is bordered to the south by the Mamore range, and to the north by the highest mountains in the British Isles: Ben Nevis, Càrn Mor Dearg, Aonach Mòr, and Aonach Beag.
It is home to one of the three highest waterfalls in Scotland, Steall Falls, where the Allt Coire a'Mhail joins the Water of Nevis in the glen. Below the waterfall is a steeply walled and impressive gorge.
At the end of the Glen Nevis road out of Fort William, there is a car park at the entrance to the path that runs along the gorge. After a good scramble up this rocky path, the view opens up and the path leads into the peaceful glen. There is a wire bridge that leads across to the base of the waterfall.
Several films have been shot in Glen Nevis, including some scenes from the Harry Potter movies, Braveheart and Rob Roy.
