Description

On our first day in the incredible West Highlands of Scotland we veered off the beaten path for a few miles, attempting a single-track road (which had zero traffic so it was easy) to reach this breathtaking view in Glen Etive. We had the whole place to ourselves and set about exploring and checking out the beauty and majesty surrounding us. The River Etive has a few different short waterfalls along its course as it flows through the glacially-carved glen, but this one is particularly photogenic with its layers of mountains behind it, and was accordingly used as a filming location for the James Bond movie “Skyfall.” I also offer a horizontally-oriented photo of close to the same view.
