A Few Photos in and Around Glencoe.

This is my latest tent, it has a personality of its own! (ok so it looks like it should be in a Harry Potter film!)

My typical setup - tarp for the fire, cook tent which is an old utility tent and my sleeping quarters

The road to the campsite, the leaves are beginning to fall.

A stand of silver birch catching the last of the sunshine before the rainclouds gather, near Glen Etive

Loch Etive, loads of wildlife but too quick or too far away to capture! I did spy plenty deer (a few stags roaring in the glen), an eagle, buzzards, seals and a cormorant so worth the 12 mile drive down a single track road!

And finally the fire is perfect for sitting round with a few drams and a couple of tunes on the harmonica!

Great photos, Loch Etive looks peaceful, your tent looks interesting.

That doesn't make me a Northerner mind!!!

Geographically? No, because Northeners live farther South than we do.

Genealogically? It makes you almost Jockanese.

Great pics Jim

Still hoping to make it to Etive with the canoe this year and that pic's just confirmed it.

Awesome pics you have! I`m lucky to see up part of Glen Etive twice a week with work (mon/fri), it's looking pretty beautiful at this moment. I plan on heading up by foot, from Bonawe Quarry side and spend couple days up that side of the loch soon hammocking.

Seriously BAD looking tent!

LOL only joking,,,,,bet it was lovely and warm inside

Haha East coaster that tent generates more comments than any other I have! It looks like it should be on the set of a harry potter movie but boy is it warm. I had it in Glencoe for 5 days when it was constantly raining with high gusting winds and it stood its ground, super stable and water tight, so I don't mind the jocular image it creates Like Bojit says, its the only tent I've seen with a face!
