Glen Coe

The National Trust for Scotland cares for Glencoe National Nature Reserve, a 14,000 acre estate with 60 kilometres of footpaths for you to explore, marvel at the panoramic mountain views and spot internationally-renowned wildlife. Glencoe is a natural wonder, the remnants of a 'caldera' or super-volcano, formed many millions of years ago and later shaped by glaciers during numerous Ice Ages. Its history is a poignant one, most famed for the 'Massacre' of 1692 and more recently as a playground for pioneering mountaineers and climbers. Find out more or support the conservation work of Glencoe's Ranger team at the NTS Glencoe Visitor Centre at the western end of the Glen.

Stunning landscape rich in wildlife and natural beauty.History is also a major asset to this place although some of it is a wee bit dark.Some of the hills look like they deserve a lot of respect when venturing into them up high.

Reviewed By 133glynd - Lochgilphead, United Kingdom

Monuments include standing stones, a henge monument, numerous cists, and a ‘linear cemetery’ comprising five burial cairns. Several of these, as well as many natural rocks, are decorated with cup and ring marks. forget southern England's offerings (FREE ADMISSION) apart from the museum at kilmartin,so what is around here things to do and see Crinan canal / Dunadd fort prehistoric Carnassarie castle and lots of other attractions soon to open after covid, get your walking boots on and take a walk back in history...

We visited the geopark twice and enjoyed the visitor centre and walks at Knockan Crag. The information is well put together and the walks well marked and sensibly graded.

Glen Ogle

Reviewed By M7123AGdavidb - West Wickham, United Kingdom

The Glen Ogle Trail which runs up an old railway line is a walk through lovely scenery that is well worth it. Part of the Rob Roy trail. Getting up onto the railway is the strenuous bit, after that is gentle uphill all the way to Glenoglehead. Nice walk so allow a couple of hours. I walked on to Killin as there is a nice pub which serves decent food there.

Rest and be Thankful

Reviewed By WeeMarie - Glasgow, United Kingdom

True to it's name! Love stopping here the scenery is always beautiful no matter the weather, love to capture the beauty with photography. The burger van is great for a light bite and a hot drink. Could do with some bins, would stop people leaving rubbish as the burger van only had a tiny bucket for rubbish

Dura Den

Reviewed By craigluscar - Dunfermline, United Kingdom

Parking is available in the community hall car park. The Ceres burn runs right through the Den and eventually joins the River Eden a mile down the road. The whole area is very attractive. The Kemback Falls join the burn 50 yards from the car park ,there is pavements on both sides of the road. The falls down a small cliff can be spectacular after heavy rainfall .The whole area has scenic photo opportunities.Well worth a look if you are in the area
