We traveled only a short distance today along Loch Linnhe to the famous village of Glencoe. Why famous? Firstly for a famous massacre. In 1692 a group of British Red Coats and members of the Campbell clan arrived in the valley and were sheltered by the local Macdonald clan for 12 days. At the end of their stay the Campbell's and Red Coats killed 38 of their hosts.

Glencoe is close to the mountain of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, and at the heart of British Mountaineering.
