Glencoe Road Trip: Discovering the Beauty of Scotland's Highlands

Join me on my Highlight of the Scotland trip: This video is all about my road trip experience through the Scottish Highlands, also known as the Beauty of Scotland. I will take you through the Glencoe Valley and together we will explore the most iconic places of Glencoe!
If you are planning a trip to Scotland I highly recommend you to rent a car and to go on a road trip through the stunning Scottish Highlands. Glencoe is meant to be the most beautiful area of the Scottish Highlands. So if you are planning a trip to Scotland, the Glencoe valley is a must-see!
Glencoe is famous for its impressive mountain views, its beautiful rivers and lakes and roads that will leave you speechless.
In and around Glencoe you will find several places that have been used as movie scenes such as Harry Potter or the James Bond Skyfall movie. I will take you to these places so that you can feel Harry Potter vibes, know everything about the Glenfinnan Viaduct and where to find the Hogwarts Express. All of that you will find in or around Glencoe.
So get ready for the most iconic places of Scotland!

    Thank you for your videos. I visited Glencoe in 1993 and I must say that the area is amazingly beautiful. It was in winter time and I remember that the car we rented was totally frozen, well, not the car but the windshield , and doors. It took us 40 minutes to be able to clean the frozen snow and open de door. Great experience, I remember that some lakes and rivers were also frozen.

    Very nice video of the "happy place" for this Scot and his wife. Love Glen Coe 😍. Tiny hint. Glen is a valley in Scotland, so saying Glen Coe Valley is like saying Valley Coe Valley. But what was VERY impressive was your pronunciation of Loch Achtriochtan. 👏👏👏!!

A small point fyi .... we don't have lakes in Scotland (apart from Lake of Menteith) they are called Lochs or Lochans . I've just subscribed and will have a look at your back-catalogue. Happy days enjoy Scotland.

    Hey there! Thanks a lot for your feedback! I am very honoured to get such a positive feedback from someone from Scotland 🥰 Welcome to my channel 🫶🏼 Also thanks a lot for the correction! To be honest, I thought that Loch maybe means Lake 🙈 May I ask what is the difference between a Loch and a Lake? Is there some kind of definition? I’m always happy to learn and would definitely put that in a video the next time I’ll visit Scotland ☺️

But it is better than the bridge, When you see the train go past the island, especially if the train has lots of steam it’s special.👍 I’m not a Potter fan but even I nearly had a tear run down lol.
