Description
Glencoe is perhaps Scotland's most famous and most scenic glen. Glencoe is also arguably Scotland;s most historic glen, and it was recently voted as Scotland;s most romantic glen.
There is a rich and dramatic history background of this magic place.
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.
