GLENCOE VALLEY

Located within the Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands, Glencoe Valley is the most breathtaking sight in Glencoe. It stretches between the Village of Glencoe and the Bridge of Orchy and is one of the best places to visit in Scotland. According to geologists, this valley was formed by huge boulders of ice trapped after an ice cap flowed down through Glencoe.

It's a U-shaped picturesque valley renowned for its bloody history as thirty-eight members of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed here. You can enjoy a scenic drive through this valley, where you'll get to see summits, waterfalls, and lochs. The route to this valley involves a rough but scenic walk safe for hikers of all levels.

Lush greenery blankets the valley floor, punctuated by the meandering River Coe, its crystal-clear waters reflecting the surrounding peaks. The imposing slopes rise steeply on either side, their craggy faces adorned with cascading waterfalls and patches of vibrant heather.

Glencoe's rich history adds layers to its allure, from ancient settlements to the infamous massacre of 1692, infusing the landscape with a palpable sense of mystery and intrigue. Whether shrouded in mist or basking in sunlight, Glencoe Valley captivates the soul, leaving an indelible imprint on all who wander through its hallowed embrace.
