Glencoe is certainly one of my favourite places in Scotland for a number of reasons. Well not actually the town Glencoe but the actual glen and Rannoch Moor. Better get on with my reasoning! The A82 is one of the nicest roads to drive along, not only is the scenery great come snow or sunshine but it's such a fun driving road. Not that I recommend speeding of course. In the summer time you have a wealth of activities open to you, you have endless options of hill walking. It's a mountainous region... but I imagine that Meall a Bhuiridh is likely the most popular amongst walkers/hikers. If you are into fishing then the numerous lochs on Rannoch Moor provide ...  Read the complete review

I love Glencoe! Its a leisurely 2 hour drive north of Glasgow where I live & I like to escape there as often as i can to enjoy the amazing outdoor life it provides. For an idea of the the scenery watch any of the recent Harry Potter films - the mountains are in Glencoe & Hagrids cabin was built on the side of the mountain opposite the Clachaig Inn. I have always known about Glencoe, my family used to travel through the Glen on the A82 when i was young on route to some other wild part of Scotland (these were in the days when most people holidayed at home rather than jump on the quickest flight to the Costas) We never stopped though for some ...  Read the complete review

CEUD MILE FAILTE - A hundred thousand welcomes is the Gaelic greeting, and you will be made to feel very welcome in the dramatic Western Highlands of Scotland. ** Please note that GLEN COE is the valley and GLENCOE is the name of the village. ONE of Scotland's most historic and scenic glens, Glen Coe - the Narrow Valley, is inspiring. With a turbulent history and the most haunting and magnificent setting which rivals anywhere on Earth, it's no wonder people come here in huge numbers. The main road, the A82 - and everything adjacent to it, can be very busy but if you pull on those hiking boots and wander off for ten ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who's been to Glen Coe will know what I mean by that title. Even if you're only passing through on the A82 going elsewhere, you can't fail to be dumbstruck by the awesome Glen Coe. Coming across Rannoch Moor, a vast desolate open land, you're suddenly plunged into a steep-sided valley hemmed with Scotland's best mountains. The domineering image is that of Buachaille Etive Mor (translation: the large sheperd of Etive), the huge pyramidical peak which stands over at the edge of the moor, said to guard the entrance to Glen Coe. Where is this Glen Coe, you say? It's remarkably easy to find, lying right on the A82, the main route ...  Read the complete review

Dubbed Scotland's Grand Canyon, Glen Coe is my favourite area of the UK. It is a stuning glacial valley with loads to do from the best pub in the UK to some suberb climbs and walks. You will have seen photos of the glen's scenery a thousand times. It's a favourite of advert makers and hollwood directors. Background shots from all the Braveheart type films will have a Glen Coe shot somewhere. The walks range from gentle lochside bimbles through a trip to the lost valley (where cattle used to be hidden from rustlers) to a full on winter ice routes only for the experienced mountaieer. The jewel of Glen Coe has to be The Clachaig Inn. It ...  Read the complete review
