Glencoe
Posted near Inverness and dated 26 September 2006.
CC086 Loch Etive from Glen Etive in early summer.
Sent to me inside a book 2005.
Buachaille Etive Mòr, Glencoe
Buachaille Etive Mòr is one of the most recognisable mountains in Scotland. It forms a ridge almost entirely surrounded by the river Etive and its tributaries. With Buachaille Etive Beag, it lies at the north end of Glen Etive.

Being a Campbell, Glencoe has a great deal of significance. I have climbed, walked, skied and scrambled over many parts of it in all weathers. This postcard shows it to be very benign.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Such a difference between the two pictures to me - I didn't imagine Scotland having such a variation in scenery. Now I know. :)
ReplyDeleteThe landscapes are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteColin, I can well imagine it must often be very different. Probably postcard manufacturers prefer the benign look!
ReplyDeleteMax, there's a lot more to Scotland but I don't have too many cards it seems.
Lux, true, it is beautiful. There are some very beautiful places in Scotland.
