Overview

Join Glasgow Young Walkers for a walk up Buachaille Etive Beag from Glencoe, As per Walkhighlands 'Buachaille Etive Beag is often overlooked in favour of its more illustrious neighbour. It is, however, a magnificent ridge in its own right, offering superlative views down Loch Etive and of the surrounding peaks of Glencoe. It also has the benefit of an excellent path easing the ascent and descent from the Lairig Èilde.’
