Herdsman
The iconic Buachaille Etive Mòr (Great Herdsman of Etive) stands as a sentinel on the edge of Rannoch Moor, its pyramidal form instantly recognisable. From above, the road across the moor blends into the background, hardly more visible than the deer trails that crisscross the ground below. Seen as a picture postcard, human intervention can seem diminished in the landscape, while the deer—their trails largely invisible from ground level—leave their own mark, shaping the vegetation in ways we’ve stopped noticing, their impact hidden in plain sight.
