Signal Rock was where Glen Coe's Clan MacDonald would gather to listen to their clan chief and to converse about the issues of the day. It has also been said that this outcrop was the place where the Campbells lit a fire in order to signal the start of the Massacre of Glencoe on 13th February 1692. However, this claim has never been proven, though it does reveal the origin of its name.

Nice, short hike to Signal Rock. The signal rock itself is actually uninteresting and you have hardly any view, but the paths are beautiful.
Wear the best hiking boots, the way is sometimes quite wet or muddy.

Interesting spot. Unfortunately, the views are quite overgrown so you won't be able to see far from here (as suggested on the information board).
