Glen Etive

Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. The River Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Èite) rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams coming together at the head of Glen Coe. The Etive then flows for about 18 km, reaching the sea loch, Loch Etive. At the north end of Glen Etive lie the two mountains known as the "Herdsmen of Etive": Buachaille Etive Mòr and Buachaille Etive Beag.

Glen Etive has been used as the backdrop to many movies, among them Braveheart and Skyfall
