Buachaille Etive Beag, Glen Etive, was my last outing of 2019 which was a brilliant day! Sid and I had an early start and the conditions were great, changing to even better as the day went on.
The ridge features two Munros and the aim was to bag both that day with a sunrise in between. While we didn't get the sunrise that I hoped for we did get a bit of a fire show.
This is the last video I have made under the title 'Behold Scotland' because I just wasn't feeling the name and it was holding me back a bit I felt.
I hope you continue to follow my outings and I will explain the changes is my next vlog.
A happy, belated, New Year to you all and we'll see you outdoors!

Ah, that ridge.. Very much on my do do list! Quality film sir, those gaelic pronunciations always get me too, the sassenach that I am ;)
I know mate. It's a fair weather mission for myself just now. To do it in the snow would be amazing but I'd need a guide / professional lead to tackle it in those conditions.
Who knows, it might still be there by the time we're out of lockdown.
Have you climbed any of the Glencoe area hills?
Some lovely photos
Thanks Danny, it finished up a blinder of a day and we bimbled around the summit of Stob Dubh chin-wagging with other walkers. I think we all had the same feeling.
Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you liked the pictures.
That sun over the mountain is beautiful. Good video.
It was something different and super intense orange. Glad that you like it and thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@AScotsmanOutdoors no problem
Doing this tomorrow,thanks for the video
Hi mate, sorry for the delay in reply. How did you get on?
@@AScotsmanOutdoors it was great,couldn’t see a thing due to mist but what an enjoyable route,we parked opposite the beehive cairn just before the bend to the glencoe falls and the path up to the first summit was great and had such character with the large stones criss crossing over the water 👍🏻
I know the feeling of not being able to see anything at the summits 🙄😄
My dog enjoyed getting his nose down onto the streams at the crossing points on the way up.
How was it for weather apart from the fog / mist? Was there snow?
@@AScotsmanOutdoors the weather was fine apart from the mist and some drizzle,a bit damp but perfect for walking as you didn’t get too hot.No snow unfortunately but probably just as well as the paths would have been covered as we were first up the hill
Eventually you were rewarded with some absolutely stunning skies. I do landscape drawings from my trips to the Highlands and I might manage one day in every four with ideal conditions. There is never a completely blue sky in any of my pictures. It is astonishing how little snow there has been in Scotland the last few years, and when it comes, it comes very late, like the Beast from the East. I was last in Scotland the week before the lockdown and there was a fair amount of soft powdery snow, with little indication that the ground had ever frozen hard enough to keep the snow cover on the mountains all winter.
Hi Tony, firstly, thanks for watching. I did eventually get my reward and it was absolutely stunning!
It's very rare there isn't a cloud in the sky here and when it is like that I like a good moan that it's too hot lol.
There has been a lack of decent snow in the lowlands and I had to head to Glencoe and above this year to find any (pre-lockdown). I did get a great view in and around Glen Nevis but the falling snow the following day was like sleet if anything, still nice.
Do you have your paintings anywhere that I could have a look, as in online?
Again, thanks for watching and take care 👍🏻
nice vid.
I like the new name of your channel. It has a good ring to it.
Thanks mate, I thought it needed a bit of a change because I didn't get the feels being 'Behold Scotland', it was a bit too impersonal for me if I'm honest. I'm basically a Scotsman who goes outdoors so what better to name it, without putting my actual name out there 😂
Thanks for watching again and a Haooy New Year for 2020 👍🏻
Those views!! 🥰 Utter magic even with the grey clouds! That path up both Munros looks really good as well. I’ll maybe wait until the snow has cleared and head up late Spring early Summer.
I know!! It was brilliant to start and just kept getting better and better. The path is good but had a wee portion of sheet ice half way up which was easy enough to skirt around.
Fingers crossed you get as good a day as we got 👍🏻
A Scotsman Outdoors Hope so! Watched a few walking videos tonight and really itching to get back up a hill 😁 summer can’t come quick enough!
Watched this last night with the missus, looked like you got the mountain to yourself which is rare. 😁 She was asking about your other dog that you took on too?
Hey mate, we pretty much did save for about three others which was great.
Events with Cooper took a sad turn for us. There were a few wee episodes of slight aggression showing with him and one night he gave us a fright with his behaviour towards me, as in aggression.
We re-contacted the rescue centre and they let slip that he had bit a handler previously which they didn't disclose. Sadly, we were forced to return him because we have young children and really couldn't take the risk. It was heartbreaking and a failure on the rescue centre. If we had known he had acted like that to a handler then we would never have attempted to rehome him. It's gutting because he'd began cementing a place in our family.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors aw mate, that's shit, really unfortunate. Right decision by all accounts, I know the decision would have been with a heavy heart. 😔
It definitely was mate, definitely was. Worst part was we had to wait four days to be able to take him back. It was four days of dread, scratching our heads, thinking if it was right to take him back, did we pay for a trainer, would he ever be trained, was it a phase etc. Not easy by any account and tears all round.
@@AScotsmanOutdoors 😔
Great vid 😊 hope wee Sid got home and warmed up! I'm hoping to do this one soon and my wee jrt x will be joining me for it 🐾
Hi Sapphie, he certainly did and had a smashing night's sleep too! Which he definitely earned. Do you have a date you're heading up or just playing it by ear? The views from the top are absolutely stunning if you get them and I
hope you do.

@@AScotsmanOutdoors thank you 😊 just keeping an eye out for a decent day (total fair weather hikers!)
@@sapphieburry5216 I do not blame you. It's good to claim the climb but not really a point if you see nothing... you just have to do it again 😂
Buchaille Etive Beag (Stob Dubh) has the best views down to Loch Etive if you ask me and, again, I hope you get them.
Are you planning on grabbing the two Munros also?
@@AScotsmanOutdoors oh it would be rude not to!
@@sapphieburry5216 😂 Superb! Honestly, make sure you let me know how you get on... and your JRT 😉
Great Video, definitely on our bucket list for this year. ATB for 2020!
Thank you very much! You will not be disappointed at all, especially Stob Dubh in my opinion.
I hope you get as good views as I got.
Incredible views and landscape, what a hike!!! Wilderness way recommend your channel to me, nice one mate!!!! 👣📸
Hey mate, glad you liked the hike. It's an awesome place Glencoe, as Ben will tell you. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
