  Wee Ben Nevis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wee Ben Nevis was a fictional character in a comic strip in the UK comic The Beano, first appearing in issue 1678, dated 14 September 1974, and continuing for a few years afterwards.
Drawn by Vic Neill, Wee Ben Nevis was a fictional Scottish Highlands boy of superhuman strength.
Much of the humour stemmed from the fact that Wee Ben never realised (or at least never anticipated) his own strength.

 JMT: Ben Nevis - Culture and recreation
In 1746 Glen Nevis House was the headquarters of Cameron of Locheil and Macdonell of Keppoch during the siege of Fort William.
The wife of Cameron of Glen Nevis had already hidden most of the valuables, and she and her son had escaped to (now hidden amongst the crags on the far side of the river from the road-end car park) where they remained for some days before detection.
The development of Ben Nevis as a climbing area in the 1880s was a key factor in defining the nature of Scottish mountaineering.
