Landscape winter Lairig Gartain Glen Coe Scotland Poster

I took this image from the summit of Beinn a Chrulaiste one December's morning. It was a typical Glencoe day in early winter - overcast. Beinn a Chrulaiste (2800ft) is situated between Kingshouse hotel and the “Devil’s Staircase” at the eastern end of Glencoe. For the photographer this mountain is a delight as it offers spectacular viewpoints of Buachaille Etive Mhor, views down to the western end of the glen, viewa over the Rannoch Moor and on a good day as far as Schiehallion in Perthshire In addition to Buachaille Etive Beag you can clearly see Bidean nam Biam and Stob Coire nan Lochan. In the centre of the photograph you can see the Lairig gartain pass and the River Coupal meandering its way towards Glen Etive and Loch Etive and eventually to the Atlantic Ocean.
