Planning your visit
We want you to enjoy your visit to Glencoe – your safety is our priority. This means we’ve had to make some changes so that we can keep everyone safe. Please read our Guide on what to expect before you set off as well as our Top 10 tips for visiting countryside places.
Our visitor centre has had a major revamp with a new café, shop, exhibition, film screening area and information hub.
Our popular Land Rover safaris allow visitors of all abilities, including wheelchair users, to get a completely different view of the glen and its wildlife.

Facilities & access
We have created a detailed Accessibility Guide for Glencoe & Dalness to assist with your visit.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
There is a unisex accessible toilet.
Please note the café operates with card-only payments.
Dogs are welcome in the glen but must be kept under control to avoid disturbing wildlife, either on a lead or returning immediately to the owner’s side on command.
Dogs are also welcome on a lead inside our visitor centre.
We have a hearing loop at some exhibition points and also at the reception desk.
Car parking is available adjacent to the visitor centre, and there’s a £4* per car admission price to the visitor centre and car park, which directly supports our work in the glen. Parking is free for members.
