Glen Coe is famous as the setting for the massacre of 1692, in which thirty-eight MacDonalds were slaughtered by government troops. However, there is far more to Glen Coe than this. The mysterious, forbidding landscape never fails to affect the visitor. On visiting the glen in 1841, Charles Dickens said “it resembled a burial ground of a race of giants”. The glen stretches from Glencoe village and Loch Leven to Rannoch Moor. The mountains in the glen offer excellent opportunities for hill-walking and snow, ice and rock-climbing, whatever the season.
