Waving to Glen in Etive

River Etive starts with several small tributaries flowing off the tall mountains in the western Highlands. It eventually becomes a white water kayaking river before flowing into a sea loch, but near the beginning there are many small cascades.

Several movies have been filmed in Glen Etive. Lots of men in kilts ran through the Glen in Braveheart, and Ron, Harry and Hermione camp near the loch. Maybe you could see Hermione tie her scarf around one of the few trees in the Glen.

Just up the road Daniel Craig pulled over to chat with Judy Dench as they headed to Skyfall just up the Glen. While this mountain may have looked down on them, there was no frozen water to reflect back.

Glen Etive reflection

A little wave in the shadowed blue light on one of the waterfalls caught some of the golden light reflected off the mountain and waved back.

I couldn’t choose just one image of this little fall. Hi, Glen Etive.
