Etive Mor Waterfall is a popular place for photographers and it’s easy to see why when you visit this iconic and awesome Scottish location. It’s an easy to get to place and if you are in the Glencoe area it’s a must-see view.

Whilst in itself the waterfall is nothing out of the ordinary, when in context with the towering iconic pyramid-like mountain of Buachaille Etive Mòr in the background it makes for a truly amazing and unique Scottish view. It’s loved by photographers and has been photographed many times, if you happen to visit in good conditions you will no doubt be joined by other photographers even though it’s in a remote place. I happened to pass this stunning place when the water was in full flow and not quite right for a long exposure (and also in a bit of a rush en route to Fort William) but I will return one day!

Even though Etive Mor Waterfall looks (and is) quite remote – it is close to the A82 road which takes you to Glencoe, and there is a minor road which you can travel down and park the car about 2 mins walk from Etive Mor Waterfall. Because of its accessibility it’s a popular spot and I want to encourage people to find the best of our natural landscapes and views so I hope you find this blog post useful. If you did please leave a comment and share your photos! As ever, if you do visit this area please respect the place and leave no rubbish

I hope you've found this info useful and it helps to plan your own adventures! I share my stuff simply to help others enjoy the great outdoors and reap the many physical & mental health benefits of being in nature.

More people enjoying the outdoors is great - but a small minority are leaving increasing amounts of rubbish behind. No one gets paid to clean up natural beauty spots, so please take all your litter home and also don’t scorch the earth with fires & BBQs which takes ages to recover. You'll be an absolute outdoors legend if you pick up & dispose of any rubbish you do see left by the numpties. Furthermore, anyone sharing nature's beauty on social media is an influencer in some way — so as well as sharing photos, let’s also encourage responsible & sustainable enjoyment of the outdoors too!
