  • Glen Coe (Gleann Comhann in Gaelic ) is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The name Glen Coe is popularly, but erroneously, believed to mean the "glen of weeping", which may be due to the steep mountains that tower oppressively over the valley floor. It is a particularly apt name given the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there near the end of the 17th Century. The narrow glen shows a dramatically grim grandeur, shut in on both sides by wild and precipitous mountains. Towards Invercoe the landscape acquires a softer beauty.
