	Ben Nevis
		Ben Nevis has not the dramatic appearance of the sharp-peaked Alps or even the Coolin of Skye, but its massive bulk, its rounded contours and its wide-flowing skirts give it a venerable appearance, like an aged law lord sitting in judgment.
		The best view of Ben Nevis, from an aesthetic aspect is from Corpach on the north side of Loch Eil, from which it is certainly an imposing natural feature, but the view showing its precipices to advantage is from upper Banavie, about two miles to the north-west.
		As Ben Nevis rises in one vast sweep, or rather a double sweep, from almost sea-level, its height therefore compares favourably with the giant mountains of the earth when these other mountains are regarded apart from the high plateaux from which they rise.
