Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands ( Argyll and Bute) of Scotland. A single track road, widely regarded as one of the most picturesque roads in all of Scotland, runs from the Kings House Hotel down the glen for some 18km (11 miles) alongside the river This meandering road was actually built to serve the tiny hamlets of Dalness, Gualachulain and several houses and farms. This road ends at the head of the loch, though rough tracks continue along both shores. The fresh water of the river Etvie mingles with the salt water of Loch Etvie (a sea loch) at this point. From here Loch Etvie stretches approximatly 31km (20 miles) southwards to join the sea, Loch Linnhe, at Connel.

Actually a Peel Tower.
Peel towers (also spelt pele), are small fortified keeps or tower houses, built along the English and Scottish borders in the Scottish Marches and North of England, intended as watch towers where signal fires could be lit by the garrison to warn of approaching danger.
Ayton Castle sits on the edge of a plateau overlooking the River Derwent and the villages of East and West Ayton. It was built in the late 14th century, probably by Sir Ralph Eure, and was a typical Northern tower house.
