The Buachaille Etive Mòr ( Gaelic Buachaille Eite Mòr ) is a mountain range up to 1021 meters high in Scotland . His name means Great Shepherd / Guardian of Etive . It is located in the western highlands south of Fort William at the eastern end of Glen Coe . Two of its peaks are among the 282 Munros .
The approximately eight kilometer long mountain range of the Buachaille runs from the eastern end of Glen Coe to the southwest, bounded to the east by Glen Etive . The highest peaks of the massif are from north to south the Stob Dearg with 1021 m, the Stob na Doire with 1011 m, the Stob Coire Altruim with 941 m and the Stob na Bròige with 956 m. The Stob Dearg and the Stob na Bròige are Munros, the other peaks have too low a notch height . To the west, the Lairig Gartain valley separates the massif from the Buachaille Etive Beag , which is slightly lower at 958 m.
Due to its striking northeast face, which rises in a pyramid shape above the valley end of Glen Coe and the Rannoch Moor , the Stob Dearg in particular is a very well-known and much-photographed mountain. The easy accessibility via the A82 from Glasgow to Fort William, which runs north of the mountain range, also contributes to this . The Buachaille Etive Mòr can be climbed via various routes, the shortest one leads through the Coire na Tulaich , a cirque on the north side. A popular tour is also the complete crossing of all peaks. The northeast face has some of the most challenging climbing routes in Scotland.
