An island in the Highlands

There's something about the rugged environs of Glen Etive in the Highlands that has tickled the imaginations of both ancient and modern storytellers. A glen is a long, narrow valley and this one is especially beautiful. It has strange footnotes in both Irish and Scottish folklore. The name itself translates to 'little fierce one' and is a nod to Etive, the Gaelic goddess long associated with nearby Loch Etive.
