Glencoe & Dalness Visitor Centre
Recommended by
Overview
Glencoe has stunning scenery and some of the most challenging climbs and walks in the Highlands. Red deer, wildcats, eagles, buzzards and ptarmigan are among the wildlife. It is also known as a place of treachery and infamy. The Macdonalds of Glencoe were hosts to a party of troops who, under government orders, fell upon the men, women and children, in the bloody massacre of 1692. The Visitor Centre tells the story.
