Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) lies to the south of Glen Coe.
The River Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Èite) rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams coming together at the Kings House Hotel.
From the Kings House, the Etive flows for about 18 km, reaching the sea loch, Loch Etive.
The river and its tributaries are popular with whitewater kayakers and at high water levels it is a test piece of the area and a classic run.
Glen Etive has been used as the backdrop to many movies, among them Braveheart and Skyfall.
