    Murray, I’m amazed that you’ve not been scooped up by a TV production company for your own terrestrial series. Have you ever been approached? You’re such a likeable bloke and a mine of information. Incredible how long you’ve been doing this, and quality never falters. Thanks for keeping my Wednesday nights interesting!

      Got to agree.
      Murray’s videos and his personality would make for great TV. No doubt about it.
      But thankfully we get to see his great work right here on UA-cam.
      There’s nothing better than making a nice cuppa or even occasionally enjoy a glass of wine and watch Murray and enjoy the absolutely stunning beauty of all the wonderful places he goes to.

    Such a fascinating look into the darker legends of Glencoe! The story of Corrag the Witch and her prophecies around the massacre really adds another layer of mystery to this hauntingly beautiful place. Perfect timing with Halloween around the corner - thanks for sharing these eerie tales of Scotland’s past! 🏔🔮👻

    Loved that! Put on my Halloween lantern for atmosphere. I did a solo wild camp in Glencoe last year, at the bealach between Sgor a' Choise and Fraochaidh. I'd been planning the trip for a while, but the night before I was due to set off, I got totally spooked thinking about the Massacre, and could not sleep. At 4am I decided to abandon the trip. Finally got to sleep, woke at 10am and thought - I'm going! Had a great wee adventure, slept well in my tent and didn't see or hear any ghosts. 😄👻

Don't think I will drive down Glencoe quite the same again. Might explain why i have sensed a presence when camping in the upper reaches of the Lairigs before now though.

    I love watching the vlogs you create. Glen Coe is one of my favourite places. Back in the 80's, the kids home i lived in decided that a group of us would pass through the Glen and camp at the head of Loch Leven. Rain clouds started building in the evening and by 2am we had to evacuate because we were flooding due to the biblical deluge! It was still a beautiful experience. One place i recall was going to signal rock and seeing the deer and a golden eagle high above.

    The washerwoman is a bean nighe. They wash the clothes of those that are about to die. The wailing is because they are a type of ban sith.
    In Scottish folklore the sith arent your cute kind of fairies. The baobhan sith are basically vampires.

    Murray honestly you need a Netflix deal or something. You’re really personal with your videos. It feels like I’m sitting at a campsite round the fire with a whisky sharing stories. Can’t wait to get a camper-van and follow in your footsteps.

    While hiking, I've never felt spooked in Glencoe. However, think Gleann na Fhiodh at Ballachulish definitely has eerie atmosphere - In same year (1692) and similar to events at Glencoe. Troops from garrison at Fort William also turned-out inhabitants at Loch Rannoch during the night. Dwellings of McDonald of Dalchonzie burned. (A History of Rannoch, A D Cunnigham). Glencoe wasn't an isolated incident - Keep hiking and climbing, Murray. it inspires people.

      I will need to give that book a read - sounds equally as gruesome as the Glencoe massacre!

    But the prophecy came true. Glencoe was flooded - in the Harry Potter film 'Prisoner of Azkaban. Hogwarts and Hagrid's hut were just up from the Clachaig. In some aerial shots they CGI'd in water across the whole glen. So they 'sort of' didn't finish the crossing of Loch Etive and they 'sort of' flooded Glencoe.

    Loved this one Murray. I agree, if only schools taught a wee bit more Scottish history kids might be more interested. Dinna worry, we all get the heeby jeeby’s in situations like this 😅

    I can never remember the glen, not sure if you know which one it is? The glen that has cannibals living near by in old mines that eat wild campers ;).
