Welcome to Ben Nevis Film+ II. Last year we premièred "The Hidden Side" which focused on the North Face Survey and the team involved in exploring the geology and botany of Ben Nevis; this year we are exploring the human history of the area from the first families who lived at Steall to the current British Fell-running Champion Finlay Wild.

Not a speaker myself, but Gaelic t's are typically a "ch". And 'ea' as far as I can think is typically flatter and two-syllable, rather than the English "ee".
But on topic, loved the film. I once inadvertently picked up (what's left of?) the old path under Meall Cumhainn by accident - assumed it was only an erosion track leading to Edgehog. Interesting to know of more...
Enjoyed the choice of music, too. 'Wedding' blows me away every time.
Beat me to it, Al. Yep, Shtowl (while *not* perfect!) is probably about the simplest you could describe it... think it might actually have been a friend of mine who (mis)named the 'Ring of Steall', along with various other punning route names (e.g. Steallyard Blues) that don't actually work. Similar to some of Mick Fowler's that don't work either (try saying 'Tholl Gate' without the first 'T'!)...
> An Steall Ban= The white spout or falls. So 'Steall Falls' is like saying the 'waterfall waterfalls'.
