Exploring the beauty of Glencoe

Connor enjoyed seeing a different side to Glencoe and learning that it’s more than just hills and pretty cottages. He said: ‘As a frequent visitor to Glencoe, I’ve always appreciated the landscape, however, I had no idea just how much goes into looking after the area all year round.’ He definitely recommends taking the ranger-led safari to get a deeper understanding of what goes on here.

Ross was delighted to take a trip to one of Scotland’s most photogenic landscapes on World Photography day. He said: ‘I was lucky enough to get off the beaten track with Scott’s guidance and local expertise. The recently refurbished Glencoe Visitor Centre is a great starting point to reaching lesser-known viewpoints and I was fascinated to hear about the work the National Trust for Scotland does to protect this iconic area for future generations.’

Glencoe has held a place in Michael’s heart as long as he’s known it, and he thoroughly enjoyed his time with the group. He said: ‘The recently refurbished centre looks fantastic both inside and out. Nestled in beautiful birch woodland, the shop, café and entrance have all been renovated in sympathy with their surroundings.

‘Scott drove us up and down tracks we may not have discovered for ourselves. He explained just some of the work National Trust for Scotland does in and around Glencoe. We talked wildlife, geology, access rights and education – all vital components to this amazing place.’
