Glencoe

Scotland's most famous glen, a dramatic valley in the Highlands surrounded by steep mountains such as Buachaille Etive Mòr and the Three Sisters. It was the scene of the massacre of the MacDonalds in 1692. The Glencoe Visitor Centre tells the story.

Walks range from the short Glencoe Lochan loop to the Lost Valley, a hidden valley where cattle were once hidden, a rough 3-hour walk. The A82 road through the glen is one of the most scenic drives in Britain. Midges bite in summer; bring repellent.
