Buachaille Etive Mòr
Buachaille Eite Mòr
A pyramid-shaped peak at the eastern end of Glencoe, with a white cottage at its foot and the Coupall River waterfall nearby. It is one of the most photographed landscapes in Scotland.
The Buachaille Eite Mòr rises to 1,022 m and stands guard where Glencoe meets Glen Etive. The classic viewpoint is the Altnafeadh lay-by beside the A82, and a few minutes’ walk south is the Coupall River waterfall, which frames the mountain in a perfect composition. Climbing to the summit is a demanding full-day mountain hike that requires experience and proper equipment. There is no entrance fee. Parking is limited, and the best light is early in the morning and at sunset.
