The Land Rover turns off the A82 and the road narrows into a spine of stone and peat; rain beads on the bonnet and the hills loom like pages from a geology book. You step out where Glen Etive opens into a bowl of scree and loch, the wind pushing you forward as if the mountains themselves want you to keep walking.
