The Buachaille Etive Mòr is a mountain at the south eastern end of Glen Coe, in the Highlands of Scotland. The name Buachaille Etive Mòr is from the Gaelic meaning "Great Shepherd of Etive". It is often simply called "The Beuckle" by the climbing fraternity.
Buachaille Etive Mòr has a steep craggy north-eastern face, and from the A82 road near the Kingshouse it appears as an almost perfect rocky pyramid. For this reason it is one of the most photographed mountains in Scotland. In fact the north-eastern summit, Stob Dearg, is simply the start of a ridge some 5 km in length, at the south-western end of which lies Stob na Bròige. This peak which was promoted to Munro status by the SMC in 1997. Between the two Munros lie several additional summits, the most notable of which is Stob na Doire (1011 m).
