River Etive flows towards Loch Etive and the sea, Argyll, Scotland

River Etive flows towards Loch Etive and the sea, Argyll, Scotland
Best enlarged

Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. The River Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Èite) rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams coming together at the Kings House Hotel, at the head of Glen Coe. From the Kings House, the Etive flows for about 18 km, reaching the sea loch, Loch Etive.

The River Etive is one of Scotland's most popular and challenging white water kayaking runs.The river and its tributaries are popular with whitewater kayakers and at high water levels it is a test piece of the area and a classic run. It provides a multitude of solid Grade 4(5) rapids with a variety of falls and pool drops.

The single track road to the right of picture follows the river on its way to Loch Etive and the sea.

The mountain in the centre of the picture is Beinn Ceitlein (883m), possibly meaning Caitlin's hill.

I know what you mean Tanja. I'd rather walk down the road to the sea than go down the river in a plastic boat!! I have been kayaking, but on a much calmer river than this one. Thanks for your kind comments.
