Buachaille Etive Mòr translates as “great/big herdsman of Etive” for anyone curious, with Etive being the name of the river/glen.

Gaelic defines colours differently from English. The term “red” here means the orange-brown hue of the rock, which is most obvious in the foreground of your picture.
Great pic!
