Buachaille Etive Beag, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland
Buachaille Etive Beag rises to 958 meters with two distinct peaks: Stob Dubh at the southern end and Stob Coire Raineach in the middle section.
The mountain received additional recognition in 1997 when Stob Coire Raineach gained Munro classification due to its topographic prominence exceeding 500 feet.
The name translates from Scottish Gaelic as 'little herdsman of Etive', reflecting the traditional pastoral heritage of the Highland region.
The ascent starts at Lairig Eilde car park on the A82 road, following a marked path that leads to both summits within a typical 4-5 hour round trip.
The mountain forms a natural barrier between Glen Coe and Glen Etive, creating two separate climate zones that affect local weather patterns.
