Glen Coe, a Spectacular Volcanic Glen in the Highlands of Scotland
Glen Coe is a volcanic glen in the Highlands of Scotland. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located at the foot of the valley.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean Glen of Weeping, perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, Gleann Comhann does not translate as Glen of Weeping. In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident.
Glencoe is famous for its landscape - it is home to some of the most spectacular mountains in the UK. The glen is a U-shaped valley formed by Ice Age glaciation. It is about 10 miles long with the valley floor less than 0.4 miles wide, with towering mountains rising sharply from the valley floor to heights of around 3,000 feet.
Glen Coe is a very popular tourist destination: partly because of its scenic qualities and historical associations, partly because it is on the main road north (the A82), and also because of its attraction for walkers and climbers. It is famous for the quality, and variety of its winter climbing, most of its routes being comparatively easy of access from the main road.

Scotland's Best: Drumrunie to Lochinver single-track road
Beneath Stac Pollaidh, with vistas of Suilven, Canisp, Cul Mor and Ben Mor Coigach, the 20 mile single track road from Drumrunie junction on the A835, to Lochinver, crosses some of Scotland's most magnificent scenery and links the tiny settlements of Inverpolly and Inverkirkaig. The journey will take a couple of hours and is well worth it. If you are in a hurry take the 27 mile route by Loch Assynt. Fortunately the road is closed to caravans.
