"The Green Gate"

Pass of Glen Coe - is probably one of the most famous places in

Scotland. It is like a gate to the real Highlands. Majestic A82 road

that goes by Rannoch Moor has it's route here as well - hidden in

the slopes of the surrounding mountains.

The name probably means narrow glen and for the sheer majesty of

mountain scenery there is little to beat it anywhere. The north side

of the glen is closely hemmed in by the jagged edge of the Aonach

Eagach ridge, usually thought to be the most challenging ridge

scramble in mainland Scotland.

It is also named "A Valley of Tears" - to commemorate 13th Feb 1692

massacre, when about 38 to 70 people from Glen Coe village were

murdered by government troops, led by Captain Robert Campbell.
