As I arrived at Glen Etive, I was mesmerized by the stunning landscape. The Glen comprises of awe-inspiring mountains, picturesque loch, and pristine meadows. I calculated that the mountains stand at around 1000 meters tall, and the parts of the Glen are over 20 km long. I noticed that the Glen had several streams that converge into River Etive. On further research, I found out that the river is popular for kayaking and whitewater rafting among adventurers and holidaymakers. The water flows so crystal clear that I could almost see the pebbles lying at the bed of the river. The area around Glen Etive has a rich history and folklore. I scanned local archives about the ancient cultural and mythological beliefs surrounding the area. For example, there is a tale of a witch who lived in a tent in the secluded area of the Glen. People from nearby hamlets believed that she had magical powers. I compared Glen Etive with other places I have visited in Scotland, like the Isle of Skye and Edinburgh. While they are remarkable places, I can confidently say that Glen Etive stands out for its peacefulness and raw beauty.
