We began our Scottish hiking adventure by heading to Fort Williams, a quaint township at the foothill of Ben Nevis. In the wee hours of a chilly Sunday morning, we set off to climb the mountain. The hike was completely free, so it wasn’t surprising to see a large crowd already gathered at the trailhead.Earlier, we had done a bit of research on what is expected of the climb: An eight-hour hike up and down with a breathtaking view of the land from the summit.

The scenery above and below was nothing short of spectacular. As we trekked higher, the blue skies and Scotland’s famous lochs could be seen over the horizon. We looked up again hoping that the summit was near, but it wasn’t to be. The pathway had now become a steep rubbled ascent, twisting our ankles each time we stepped on a loose rock. By this time, we had lost count of the number of zig-zags we had taken towards the summit.
