Tour Scotland photograph of The Glen Etive Hills from Beinn Suidhe, Scotland. The Glen Etive hills are a fantastic range stretching from Bridge of Orchy to the start of Glencoe. Mountains and Glens of Scotland. In the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, Deirdre and her love Naoise founded Glen Etive after fleeing Ulster. The Fachen, also known as Fachan or Fachin or Peg Leg Jack, is a creature with only half a body in Scottish and Scots Irish folklore. Supposedly its appearance, which includes a mane of black feathers tufted at the top and a very wide mouth, is so frightening that it induces heart attacks. It is also known as Direach Ghlinn Eitidh, or the Dwarf of Glen Etive. Glen Etive has been used as the backdrop to many movies, among them Braveheart and Skyfall.
