The first recorded ascent of Ben Nevis was made on the 17 August 1771 by James Robertson, an Edinburgh botanist, who was in the region to collect botanical specimens. Another early ascent was in 1774 by John Williams, who provided the first account of the mountain's geological structure. John Keats climbed the mountain in 1818, comparing the ascent to " mounting ten St. Pauls Cathedral in England without the convenience of a staircase ". The following year William MacGillivray, who was later to become a distinguished naturalist, reached the summit.
