Majestic green mountains, dramatic panoramas, and soaring landscapes – Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful places in Scotland. The nature here is varied: you can find yourself in wooded strath in the morning and high mountain passes in the afternoon.

Glen Coe is named after the River Coe, which runs through the area. It was formed by a supervolcanic eruption that happened around 420 million years ago.
