The croft sits dramatically on a grassy rise, with the massive pyramid of Buachaille Etive Mòr (“The Great Herdsman of Etive”) towering behind it. This mountain is one of Scotland’s most famous and imposing Munros, standing at 1,022 meters (3,353 ft).

The little white building, surrounded by open moorland, streams, and rugged peaks, is often photographed with the River Coupall winding in front and clouds rolling above — a scene that embodies the raw grandeur of Glencoe.
