Glencoe Lochan was created by Lord Strathcona, the former resident of Glencoe House. As well as the little lochan, he planted tall redwoods in an attempt to create a landscape that would comfort his homesick Canadian wife. Today, the lochan's trails make for a beautiful walk, especially on still days when the surrounding mountains are reflected in its mirror-like surface.
