The Glen Etive road meanders for some 14 miles to the head of Loch Etive, where it ends in a turning circle near a ruined pier. And that's it. The road down Glen Etive is the original "road to nowhere".It's not always been that way. In 1750 there was a track running down the south side of the loch as far as Taynuilt.And from 1847 a steamer service from Oban operated to the now derelict pier at which the modern road ends.
Glen Etive is a magnet for climbers and hillwalkers, who come there especially to climb the mountains around Ben Starav to the south east and the Glen Coe mountains to the north and west. It is the sight of the most beautiful scenery in the highlands.

Well, what can I say.
More grand photography.
Don't sell yourself short,
you are a marvelous photographer.
I like "The shed" it looks like somewhere in the Swiss or Austrian alps. Gave me a "cozy" feeling for a second or two... Beautiful images, Carol!
