A view of Ben Nevis from Dun DearDail, Glen Nevis. Just 3 miles from Fort William is the Braveheart Forestry Carpark. From here you can leave the car behind and enjoy a pleasant 2.6km walk in Glen Nevis along a Forestry path. At the end of this short walk is the site and ruins of Dun Deardail, an ancient vitrified stone fort built on a spectacular defensive position above Glen Nevis.
Vitrification is the process of fusing stones together by heat from fires built around a structure.
The remains of Dun DearDail form a magical concave bowl which is covered is short grass and is ideal for a picnic. The site has a 360 view of the surrounding hills and is sheltered from winds.
