Glencoe Mountains Landscape Photography | The
Glencoe mountains ranges are split by the pass that runs from Rannoch Moor to
Ballachuillish at Loch Leven, a sea loch. The Glen itself is 7.5 miles long but
the valley from Kingshouse is 15 miles long. The highest summit of Glencoe is
Bidean nam Bian 3766 ft whose outliers above the Glen compose the "three
sisters", Beinn Fhada , Gearr Aonach, and Aonach Dubh. On the opposite north
side of the Glen runs the Aonach Eagach ridge - 6 miles long ,2 miles of which
are narrow and precipitous. The ridge ends at Sgor na Fiannaidh which leads
north-west to the "Pap of Glencoe" (Sgor na Ciche) looking down on Glencoe
village and Loch Leven to Ballachuillish and beyond to the Ardgour peninsula.
Most of the Glencoe is now owned by the National Trust of Scotland. Glencoe is
often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland.
Glencoe Mountains are on the main road north A82
but Glencoe is famous also because of its scenic qualities and historical
associations. Walkers and climbers love Glencoe
Mountains for its variety of climbing. If you decide to visit Glencoe
Mountains, you have to stay in a village of Glencoe-beautiful little place.
