Wild Camping in Glencoe


Having a rare weekend off I grabbed my camping gear and headed for the hills. My objective was to pitch my tent on Beinn a’Chrulaiste, a corbett directly across from the iconic Buachaille Etive Mor. When I arrived in Glencoe the weather did not look to promising with some grey and ominous clouds. I did manage to get to the top of the hill before the rain started so I quickly pitched the tent and sought some shelter. 6 hours later once the torrential rain and gales had subsided I did emerge from the tent in the hope for some better conditions for some picture taking. Talk about being in the right place at the right time, the view from the hill was stunning, with a rainbow to the left and a biblical shaft of light falling into the centre of the valley. As I was travelling light I didn’t have my usual DSLR camera equipment with me, only my iphone, Gopro and a drone however the phones panoramic feature did come in handy in order to capture this scene: –

Here are a couple of images taken from the drone (16 image stitch panoramic)
