Buachaille Etive Mòr

As we get to the entrance of Glen Coe we cannot miss this impressive mountain. I would at one time, have liked to climb it but not now, for after taking a few shots, I shake my head and drive to the next scenic stop.

Buachaille Etive Mòr (1,021 m), meaning "Great Herdsman of Etive" in Gaelic, is one of Scotland’s most iconic and frequently photographed mountains. Located at the southern edge of Glen Coe in the Scottish Highlands, its pyramid-like silhouette serves as a legendary, challenging hike for experienced hillwalkers and Munro baggers

You know Gordon -I just knew that you would have climbed this wonder. You have done some great hikes and climbs and for that, I can only salute you. I am pretty sure that i could have done it too as I could always do steep hills and indeed scree paths too. Good that this has brought back memories.

Keep good. Herb
