The north end of Loch Etive is dominated by the view up Glen Etive to the twin mountains of Buachaille Etive Mor and, to its west, Buachaille Etive Beag. The north ends of these twin ridges dominate the upper parts of Glen Coe, but from the south they appear as twin cones.

Loch Etive is accessible by car via a 14 mile drive down scenic Glen Etive along a minor road that starts at the head of Glen Coe.

And binoculars should be an essential companion on a journey up Loch Etive. The seals that have hauled themselves out onto the rocks in the loch are easily visible. But it is often more difficult to spot the deer on the hillside, the golden eagles swooping over Beinn Trilleachan or the sea eagles now increasingly being seen here.

Top Taynuilt Hotel Reviews

Loch Fyne Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Just love going to this hotel. The decor is lovely, rooms comfortable, breakfast excellent, staff all lovely and a fabulous spa & pool"

Taynuilt Inn Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Apartments are great size for the 5 of us. It had everything we needed as we stayed in and cooked a roast dinner on Christmas Day after our hike up the lost valley. Nice and quiet even tho it’s on a main room and the views were stunning to wake upto. Only minor was a dirty towel left in the wardrobe in the single room. Still plenty of towel to use. I would definitely go back and stay again."
