The snow covered mountains of Scotland provide an ideal subject for Scottish Landscape Photography and Glen Etive and Glen Coe have an abundance of magnificent Highland scenery to photograph.

Glen Etive runs south from Glen Coe for twelve miles and the road ends at the head of Loch Etive. Surrounded by mountains on both sides it is a pleasant road to cycle, you are rewarded with a great view down the loch to Ben Cruachan an ideal spot for a picnic.

This photograph is taken looking north to Glen Coe and the Lairig Gartain splits the Buachaille Etive Beag and the Buachaille Etive Mor. A fine walk over this pass takes you to Glen Coe near Altnafeadh and Lagangarbh.

There are many walks in and around Glen Coe which can be done without being an expert climber. Walk and scramble up into the Lost Valley of Glen Coe, one of my favourite spots in Scotland. The ruggedness of the surrounding mountains gives way to a lush green valley which is so unexpected in it's calmness and serenity the image of it will live with you forever.
