Welcome to Glencoe.  Here you will find some of the very best mountain scenery in Scotland. Whatever the weather and time of year, it always appears spectacular. Glencoe is sometimes known as the Glen of Weeping or the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Visit Glencoe to find out why it has been described as a destination to rival anywhere the rest of the world has to offer. The breathtakingly beautiful combination of lochs, mountains, glens and rivers provides everything essential to a good holiday.

Escape to an inspiring landscape filled with remote tranquillity, and find yourself in one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas in Europe. The rugged beauty makes it one of the best-known Highland glens. Glencoe’s expanse is shrouded in history, myth and legend; the velvety green peaks painting the backdrop for primeval man’s activities to medieval clan feuds and highland clearances and modern day movie heroes such as Braveheart and Harry Potter.

Glencoe is an excellent place for rock climbing and hill walking during the summer. Why not follow the trails to the Lost Valley and the Devil's Staircase? Make sure you are well-equipped for being in the mountains and know where you are going. The Glencoe Mountain Resort offers winter snowsports and summer activities and is located 12 miles south of Glencoe Village.
