Views from Glencoe Lochan and Glencoe village towards Loch Leven

Glencoe is situated about 15 miles South of Fort William, in Lochaber( North West of Scotland ). It stretches from the shores of Loch Leven in the North to Rannoch Moor in the South. The Glen's dramatic sceneries, surrounded by impressive mountains, made its reputation as well as its history. The event that put Glencoe on Scottish history maps is the "massacre of Glencoe" which took place in 1692.
