Cadderlie

A panoramic view up Loch Etive with "Ben Starav" (3285ft) on the right and "Buachaille Etive Beag" (3029) and "Buachaille Etive Mor" (3345ft) in the middle. A wonderful scene and a wonderful walk to capture them.

The 31Km “Loch Etive” is one of the most attractive lochs in Scotland. It is surrounded by wild countryside and high towering mountains, this photo taken from near “Cadderlie Bothy” on the west side looks across the loch towards “Ben Starav” (3285ft) in the foreground to “Stob Dubh” (2897ft) in the distance on the east side.

The most popular views of “Buachaille Etive Beag” (3029ft) and “Buachaille Etive Mor” (3345ft) are from the main A82 road as it approaches the entrance to the majestic and haunting “Glencoe” itself, but if you are prepared to travel down to the southern end of Loch Etive and walk the 5miles up the forest track from Bonawe to the “Cadderlie Bothy” area then the views will certainly take your breath away. These two photos show the two snow capped “Buachailles” reaching out of the upper regions of “Glen Etive” to their majestic height and dominating the surrounding mountains, certainly worth every footstep just to be alone with them and admire their beauty
