Ten miles of mountain valley, cinematic in every weather, and thick with the story of the 1692 massacre.
Highlights
- Three Sisters viewpoint
- Signal Rock walk
- Glencoe Lochan
- Buachaille Etive Mòr (Skyfall)
- Clachaig Inn
Drive the A82 slowly
The road from Rannoch Moor into Glencoe is one of the greatest driving stretches in Europe. Start early. Stop at every lay-by. The Three Sisters viewpoint is unmissable, but the true showstopper - Buachaille Etive Mòr - appears as you crest into the glen from the south.
A darker note
In February 1692 the MacDonalds of Glencoe were massacred here under Government orders. The National Trust visitor centre tells the story with unusual restraint. Worth the two hours.
