Step Back in Time: A Victorian-era Ticket for a Ben Nevis Road Permit, Lochaber, Scotland (circa 1900s) This intriguing black and red print depicts an authentic Ben Nevis road permit from the early 1900s. Issued in Lochaber, Scotland, this ticket grants permission for one person to travel on foot along the treacherous mountain roads leading to the towering Ben Nevis. The cost for this privilege was a modest shilling. During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Scotland's breathtaking landscapes began to attract tourists from around the world. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, became a popular destination for adventurous travelers seeking to challenge themselves and experience the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands. However, the rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions made the journey to the summit a daunting task. To ensure the safety and well-being of these intrepid visitors, the local authorities required travelers to obtain a road permit before embarking on their journey. This ticket served as proof of permission to traverse the mountain roads, which were often in poor condition and could be treacherous, especially during inclement weather. This fascinating piece of Scottish history offers a glimpse into the past, when travel was an adventure and a permit was necessary to reach the summit of Ben Nevis. The intricate design and bold colors of the ticket add to its historical significance, making it a must-have for any collection of Scottish or mountain-related memorabilia.
