Stob Corie Raineach is the lower of two Munro summits on the Buachaille Etive Beag. It's a fine peak that stands proud above the A82 into Glen Coe. The fastest ascent route starts from the car park at the head of Lairig Eilde, while it can also be ascended from Altnafeadh.

The summit is a wonderful perch for gazing out across the Aonach Eagach's intimidating ridge to the northwest. Closer at hand is the huge Bidean Massif, an unforgettable sight.

The views along the entire Buachille Etive Beag ridge and along Glen Coe must be great but I am going to have to come back another day to see them!

The view over Glen Coe is truly magnificent. From the actual summit you should walk a little further to the lower rocks, from where you can get an even better view of northern Glen Coe.
