About Glencoe

On The Map: Glencoe runs east-west along the route of the main A82 road. Fort William is a mere 16 miles to the north, while Glasgow is 90 miles to the south

'Glen Coe' is probably Scotland’s most famous and scenic Highland glen – and deservedly so - it really does merit the description 'spectacular'. The best approach is from the south on the A82, one of the major routes through the Highlands. The road climbs over the bleak expanse of Rannoch Moor and drops down between the steep scree-strewn sides of Glencoe. Awesome mountains such as Buachaille Etive Mor and the Three Sisters loom on either side, with riverine scenery at the bottom of the glen. The area is a paradise for walkers and climbers in all seasons, and skiers and snowboarders in the winter. The name Glencoe means 'Valley of Weeping', and has a haunting atmosphere as a result of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692. This was carried out by the British army, when the chief of the MacDonalds of Glencoe had been slow to swear allegiance to William of Orange. The picturesque village of Glencoe lies at the northwest end of the glen.

Glencoe in Movies:

Glencoe has starred in many movies. It is here that the dramatic landscapes around Hogwarts Castle were filmed. Hagrid’s Hut, the Turreted Gatehouse, and the Bridge to Nowhere were all constructed in Clachaig Gully in Glencoe (just north of the Clachaig Inn), overlooking the Torren Lochan and the Signal Rock forest. These structures were initially used in movie three - Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban. But the creators of Harry Potter were not the first to recognize the stunning potential of Glencoe. The battle scene at the beginning of 'Highlander' was filmed near the pyramid shaped Buachaille Etive Beag mountain at the eastern end of Glencoe. The location used for the tower and forge in Highlander is in an area of Glencoe called The Study - a viewpoint looking towards the Three Sisters mountains. The Study is also used in Rob Roy when Liam Neeson's character catches up with the band of cattle rustlers at the start of the movie. Later on in the movie this spot again appears as the track where Rob Roy and his captors are seen against the backdrop of the Three Sisters.
