At the head of Glen Etive stands one of the

most frequently photographed mountains in Scotland, namely the iconic Buachaille Etive Mòr. The translation from the Gaelic meaning "the great herdsman of Etive". When seen from the A82 The Buachaille as it's affectionately known appears almost pyramidal in shape.
As is very often the case with Rannoch Moor and Glencoe the window of opportunity weather wise is frequently very small. Having set up the tripod and camera the inevitable happened and the rain started to fall. Immediately after taking this shot it was a mad dash to get the gear packed as quickly as possible before heading for cover and a night of howling winds and rain parked on the Glencoe Mountain Resort Centre car park.
