Ben Nevis is ranked as Scotland's largest mountain, at 4,406 feet high, and was once a volcano that erupted millions of years ago, the remains of which formed the structure it has today.

With large, thick stone walls surrounded by very green vegetation, this place invites you to explore its surroundings and imagine what this castle was once like during its golden years.

This distillery is quite interesting, as it is one of the oldest in Scotland and is where Ben Nevis 10-year-old and Ben Nevis 21-year-old whisky is distilled.
