That’s sad. Why did your family have to leave?

We had a choice of two routes driving to Inverness.After driving through glencoe,I know that there’s only one route now.This is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been

Incredible

It’s kind of beautiful that this comment section is filled with so many different languages. People all around the world are able to enjoy the same music, type wholesome comments, and have their days improved while lifting up others too

Liked and saved this I'm heading there this may and my brother lives here I've seen it from afar but not been right there so this video was so good to watch

Thanks for posting. Planning another trip to Scotland and this really helped. Best regards

My wife and I drove through Glencoe on our way to Inverness and it's one of the prettiest places I've seen.

It is :) I'm lucky enough to live about 2 hours from Glencoe and go there a lot for hiking, camping or skiing. It is a truly beautiful place and if hiking is your thing, you are spoilt for choice. Anything from a well worn path all the way to over 3000', and you start almost at sea level, or the hardest ridge walk in Britain, the Aonach Eagach. I'd seriously recommend checking out some KZread footage of it, it's absolutely stunning and the views down into the glen are breathtaking.

Amazing video footage, really enjoyed your blog, I've just got the Mavic 2 Pro and hope to capture some of these magnificent views, we love the Highlands, Glencoe’s one of our favourites, we did the first part of the Lost Valley, but didn't have time to go the full way, so its a must for us to go back and make the time. We have toured around Scotland on several occasions, we jus keep wanting to come back and explore more of this beautiful part of the country, with amazing landscapes, very nice and welcoming people, great food and the unpredictable weather makes the country looks quite mysterious or mystical. Can’t wait to go back, we're off to the Cairngorms later this year, just hope everything is settled and we are able to do our next Scottish Highlands adventure.

Hi Kelvin. Both hikes we did were accessible by foot from where we stayed (Clachaig Inn), but we had to get a taxi there from Fort William. Getting a taxi from Fort William was easy, but I’d advise pre-booking the return journey as there were less taxis available on the way back. There’s also a 30 minute bus between Fort William and Glencoe. Hope you have a great trip!
