Buachaille Etive Mor
'The Great Herdsman of Etive,' Buachaille Etive Mor is a truly iconic mountain of Scotland, guarding the entrance to Glencoe. The route ascends two Munros, Stob Dearg and Stob na Broige, that are linked by a fine, lofty ridge. The ascent and descent is steep and rough in places, though the hard work is always repaid by this wonderful mountain.
