The beautiful glen between Buachaille Etive Mor (The Great Shepherd of Etive) and Buachaille Etive Beag (The Little Shepherd of Etive) is known as the Lairig Gartain.

Buachaille Etive Beag is Buachaille Etive Mor's little brother but don't let that fool you into thinking this mountain is a walk over. Any Glencoe expedition offers a serious climb and Buachaille Etive Beag is no exception. Although the features of Buachaille Etive Beag is similar to that of Buachaille Etive Mor the main summit Stob Dubh sits at the end of the ridge whereas Stob Dearg frowns down over the A82 for the big brother. There are two ways to access Buachaille Etive Beag but both lead to the same route. The two passes run up either side of it, the Lairig Gartain and Lairig Eilde you can go through either and from each you climb to the bealach on the Buachaille Etive Beag ridge. The views from the ridge are fantastic as you would expect from ay hill walk in Glencoe especially of Buachaille Etive Mor and Bidean Nam Bian to each side.
