Our Grand Tour of Scotland: 2010 - Part 1: Glen Etive & Glencoe

Unfortunately, the start of our grand tour was rather wet, but we weren't daunted by rain, mist or midges!  We headed off towards Glencoe, one of Bev's favourite locations and drove down Glen Etive to where the road ends at the side of Loch Etive.  It was a beautiful drive through an area of lush green vegetation, wild rivers swollen by the heavy rain, impressive waterfalls on the mountains and deer peeking curiously at us from under the cover of trees!

Here is Buachaille Etive Mòr, taken from the road to Glen Etive.
Bev got rather wet taking this photograph, not helped by the fact that she slipped and fell, but luckily the peat is soft and bouncy, so she and the camera weren't injured :-)
