Glen Etive

Valleys

Glen Etive is a glen in the Scottish Highlands. The River Etive rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams converging at the Kings House Hotel at the head of Glen Coe, and from there the Etive flows about 18 kilometers to reach Loch Etive, a sea loch.
