This is probably the shelter at NN 1703 7919 with the three Carn an Doctair resting cairns visible nearby at the roadside. Neither site has a Canmore record.

At 4,409 feet (1344 metres) Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in Britain. Its geology is volcanic and catastrophic - it is essentially the remains of a large volcano that imploded in the Devonian period, leaving a mixture of granite and basalt which was then extensively eroded by glaciation.



Ben Nevis attractes thousands of walkers every year, who take the well-worn 'tourist' path to its summit, and has some of the finest and most challenging summer and winter rock-climbing routes in the country.



It has also been the site of many fatalities, owing to the complex topography of its summit plateau.
