Beautiful Glencoe is a very scenic valley in Argyllshire, Scotland, and is named for the River Coe which runs through it.
Back in 1692 the valley was the site of a devastating massacre of the MacDonald clan by the Campbells and the English, but today’s visitors can expect to find a very peaceful, beautiful, and historic valley surrounded by superb mountains that are part of the Western Highlands.
It is an idyllic region for mountaineering and hiking and visitors can also enjoy a wide selection of watersports on the River Etive.
If you’re not up to hiking, you can visit the Glencoe Mountain Ski Resort and take a chair lift up to one of the viewpoints. Other enjoyable activities include guided walks, Segway and Land Rover tours, and a great deal more.
