Buachaille Etive Mòr

Buachaille Etive Mòr, towering at the head of Glen Etive, is renowned for its iconic pyramid shape. This mountain, often referred to as "The Great Herdsman of Etive," offers dramatic landscapes perfect for photography, especially at sunrise and sunset when the light enhances its rugged features. The most famous view of the peak is from the north near the A82 road, providing an impressive foreground with River Etive or small waterfalls. Conditions can change rapidly; late autumn and early spring are ideal for capturing clear skies and dramatic lighting. Photographers should bring wide-angle and telephoto lenses to capture both sweeping vistas and detailed textures of the rocky surface. Watch for reflections in nearby pools for creative compositions.
