Tour Scotland Winter photograph of a tree by Loch Etive near Glen Etive near Glencoe, Scotland. Cruises up Loch Etive followed by carriage trip to Glen Coe were started in 1881 as Oban developed as a fashionable resort. At the north end of Glen Etive lie the two mountains known as the Herdsmen of Etive, Buachaille Etive Mòr and Buachaille Etive Beag. Other peaks accessible from the Glen include Ben Starav, located near the head of Loch Etive, and Beinn Fhionnlaidh on the northern side of the glen. The River Etive is one of Scotland's most popular and challenging white water kayaking runs. In the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology, Deirdre and her love Naoise founded Glen Etive after fleeing Ulster. The Fachen is also known as the Dwarf of Glen Etive.
