Glencoe

Glencoe is a bottle neck of beauty. This is one of Scotlands greatest Glens. A glen is what we call a mountain pass. Years gone by, I have worked for tour companies that factor only one stop in here. Scotland does not get any better than Glencoe, and this is where I have hiked most of my life. Let me take you to some of the most enchanting spots, which I will decide on based on your personality. Glencoe has everything to offer - rugged mountains, waterfalls, white water rapids, glens, valleys and above all history ! I would like to take you to the famous Clachaig inn for lunch which allows you to further immerse yourself within the area.
