Introducing Glencoe & Around

Sixteen miles south of Fort William on the A82, this small village is besieged by soaring mountains on one side and Loch Leven on the other. The small thatched Glencoe Folk Museum (811664; adult/child £2/free; 10am-5.30pm Mon-Sat May-Sep) houses a historical collection, including militaria and costumes.

About 1.5 miles from the village, along the road into the glen is the excellent Glen Coe Visitor Centre (NTS; 811307; Inverigan; adult/concession £5/4; daily Mar-Oct, Fri-Mon Nov-Feb; ), a modern facility with an ecotourism bent. The centre presents information on geological, environmental and cultural history of Glen Coe via interactive displays. Kids will love Hamish the Scotty dog who acts as mascot. The story of the Glen Coe Massacre in all its gory detail is also told.
