View of Buachaille Etive Mòr

Highlight • Viewpoint

This imposing mountain (pronounced 'boorkeleh ettiv moor') fills this landscape and seems to watch over the surrounding moors. At a height of 3,353 feet (1022 m), it's one of the higher surrounding peaks and can be a challenging scramble to get to the top.

The name is Gaellic and means "Great Herdsman of Etive" after the River Etive that almost surrounds it.
