Beautiful Glen Etvie/Loch Etvie

From the archives: 2017

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.
