I think it’s pretty obvious why Buachaille Etive Mòr (the Great Herdsman of Etive) is one of Scotland’s most photographed mountains.
Here, we call them Munros: any mountain over 3,000 feet (914.4 metres). If you climb one, we say you’ve ‘bagged’ a Munro, and Munro-bagging is a favoured weekend activity among our most motivated citizens.

@kristiedegaris 😍i miss Scotland so much!
I’ve climbed one Munro: Ben Chonzie, often described as ‘Scotland’s least interesting Munro’. Despite that, it gave me all sorts of trouble. And despite what should be obvious, what they don’t tell you is that it’s uphill all the way, and then downhill all the way. It's a journey I describe in detail in my book.
@kristiedegaris I've been up a few Munros, and Ben Lomond the most often (think I'm at four visits). On the last trip, was on the way back down, and met people coming up looking exhausted already, only to be asked "Are we nearly at the summit?". Had to break it to them gently they weren't even half way.
And in terms of pronouncing Buachaille Etive Mòr it's 'boochal ehtiv vohr'
@kristiedegaris
It's masculine, so "moːɾ" not "voːɾ" (mhòr).
@kristiedegaris It is a beautiful mountain.
