Located in western Scotland, in the steep Glencoe Valley of the Scottish Highlands, the village of Glencoe is regarded by many as Scotland's most famous and most scenic glen. This charming little village serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area, which is known for its beautiful waterfalls and its exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation. The well-known peaks of Buachaille Etive Mor and Bidean nam Bian are popular with visitors keen on hillwalking and mountaineering, while for water sport enthusiasts, the River Etive and the River Coe offer exhilarating activities such as white water rafting, canyoning, coasteering and river bugging. There is a popular long-distance trail called the West Highland Way, which runs below Scotland’s longest established ski area at Glencoe Mountain Resort and provides some of the nation’s best skiing opportunities. Don’t miss the Glencoe Folk Museum, which is housed in a number of 18th-century thatched cottages and features some fascinating exhibits on local heritage.
