River Etive waterfalls, Glen Etive, Argyll, Scotland

Best enlarged

Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. The River Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Èite) rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams coming together at the Kings House Hotel, at the head of Glen Coe. From the Kings House, the Etive flows for about 18 km, reaching the sea loch, Loch Etive. The river and its tributaries are popular with whitewater kayakers and at high water levels it is a test piece of the area and a classic run.

The River Etive is one of Scotland's most popular and challenging white water kayaking runs. It provides a multitude of solid Grade 4(5) rapids with a variety of falls and pool drops.

Doug Shepherd replied to Tanja - Loughcrew:

Many thanks for the kind comments Tanja, much appreciated. People do swim in the river, certainly where it passes the old school house cottage. Did I swim? no! I may be crazy but I'm not stupid;-))

Best wishes, Doug
