To reach this spot in Glen Etive, you must drive down the same road James Bond drives down in “Skyfall”. The car passes between two dark peaks: Buachaille Etive Beag and Buachaille Etive Mòr. Together, they’re known as the ‘Herdsmen of Etive’. Glen Etive was formed by huge volcanic eruptions. Around 420 million years ago, tectonic movement pushed up vast swathes of rock, creating the mountain chains that lace northern Scotland. Millennia of erosion has reduced their original heights. Today, ‘Buachaille Etive Mòr’ stands at 1,021 metres tall, but would originally have been about the size of Mount Everest! If you do visit Glen Etive, or anywhere in Scotland, always remember to respect the countryside and leave no trace. source:geographical.co.uk #skyfall #glenetive #jamesbond #scottishhighlands #andythehighlander #scotland #scottish #kilt #outlander #history #mountains #lochetive #highlandertours #highlands #visitscotland
