Glencoe - History & Culture | Wild Camping
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 гру 2020
- Week 3 in Scotland, I find myself in the beautiful little village of Glencoe, famous for mountain climbing and its wild beauty. I was so fortunate to be there for the rutting season and see the autumn color's emerging. I spent a lot of my time learning about the history such as the Glencoe Massacre and the birch of mountain climbing in the area.

You can never over emphasise the Leave no Trace ethos, well done and keep banging the drum, so we can all enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Beckie, thank you for the LNT break down. What your experiencing is happening all over the world on the trails. New hikers all over the world who are not aware of the damage they are doing to our natural resources. Thank you!
Hello Becky,
Well said regarding "leave no trace"
Take care
Paul,,
Thanks Becky for showing the Amazing Scotland.
The green lichen on the trees shows the purity of the air around.
This was wonderful, Beckie. Scotland is beautiful. The rain on your tent sounds soothing.

As a Scot I formally give you permission to say wee whenever you blooming want 🤣 when you love our wee country the way you do, you get to say wee whenever you like. 💕💕💕
Starting your adventure videos this way is a good way. You have a great taste in beautiful music. Your video graphing is super outstanding. Thank you for sharing your time at Glencoe. Have a super wonderful day.
Aw thank you so much Moses, take care
Lovely, peaceful video. Thanks

Glad you enjoyed our wee country..... I think it’s safe to say your an honorary Scot.
Loved this video, thanks for your passion because it really comes through when you’re speaking, keep them coming 👍🏻😁

Great pics😁. You rock. Enjoy your time. Thanks for sharing 😍🤗
Thank you Leon
I enjoy your videos very much!
I really fall in love with Scotland! Nice one
Becky, I grew up and lived until I was 50 in Kent and the South East, I have lived in Southern Scotland for the last 15 years, Follow your heart and move up as soon as you can, even the hills of Southern Scotland and North Northumberland are wonderful and the people are so friendly. ATB Big Dave Scotland
Bet it was one of your best moves! Cheers Dave
Wow! Getting close to 100k! So stoked for you.
aw thank you Peter!
Keep up the amazing videos !
Thank you :)
Very nice video ,Becky ,, Thank you for being my tour guide and the lesson of Scotland's lands and lore ..
Your interest for other cultures is wonderful ,and to learn of the history of the areas is So important so that the hardships and struggles can be
Foreseen not to be repeated ...
These cultural travels are so very interesting ,, maybe in the future you can persuade Louise to join you ... I think the perspective of differing thoughts would be very interesting .. not to mention the personal safety of another .. I'm sure you are staying aware of surroundings and that with the required distancing everywhere unwanted approaches are very obvious .... We just don't want anything to happen to our Beautiful International Tour Guide ... Thank You so much for sharing your experience on trail in a very beautiful location ....
..... Stay Safe and God Bless .....
thank you for your comment, take care :)
Love it you are brilliant!
Saw your closing comment, heading to the lost valley......go to the end, and up top. You wont regret it 😁
Great video! I love how you enjoy nature, but also visit local culture. Well done!
Thank you!
Hi Becky enjoyed your vid as always! Glencoe was the name of my elementary school in Montreal, QC
Always so interesting i love the sound of rain on the tent, always great to chat to the locals wherever you are there is usually a yarn to be told, thanks for sharing. we are very fortunate no COVID restrictions and you can travel anywhere around the country at the moment. Stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you very much for your comment Barry :)
Scenic for certain! Plus, you demonstrate the usefulness of your shelter.
It sure was James, yes I would be nothing without that!
Great trip! Thanks for sharing with us! 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another good one. 👍
Cheers!
I'm glad you done another video, you are very inspiring, keep up the good stuff. It's one of my dreams to visit up Scotland. But it's hard to travel anywhere at the moment. But hope I get traveling one day. Love the videos . Keep safe 🙏
Great spot to camp there and it has wonderful view 😀
You are my tour guide. I agree so much about littering, hate it! When the pandemic is over, I want to visit some of the places you’ve covered. Thanks girl!🥑
Thank you Tom!
Great job. Thanks
Hi Becks. I've read a fair bit on Scottish History & The Glencoe massacre, The Jacobite rebellion with Bonnie Prince Charlie & The Highland Clearances are all worth learning about - fascinating & tragic stuff. I've absolutely loved your Scottish videos & it must have been an amazing experience xx
Amazing history! Aw thank you Michael :)
Absolutely terrific views up Glencoe Great vid by you Becky, . Have`nt been camping up that way for years. This vid brought back a lot of memories. I need to get back out soon.. Thank you for this, and making me know, i need to get "Back out". Take care, stay safe . #Leaveknowtrace
Thank you Clark, yess it was beautiful!
Very much enjoed watching this video lovely view's what a lovely place scotland
thank you!
I've been to Glencoe without knowing what to expect - it was a detour from the West Highland Way, because we run out of food. It turned out to be a very good ideea. It was quiet, with very good looking houses. I took a lot of pictures. We've stayed in the camping (one of the best), went to the Lost Valley, hitch-hiked the way back to our small tents. I've been to that Village Hall too (with Himalayan things). I have great memories about that place. It's also the place where I've lost my headlamp, but I don't mind :)
Ah amazing, it was fate pulling you to see that lovely village :)
Always a treat! 😉👍🇨🇦🦌🔥🎅🎄🎁
"Take only memories, Leave only footprints" Great vid Becky, thought you were going to have wispa flavoured porridge ;) Take care.
Another great video 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Another great video, Becky. I agree with you with regards the difference between North and South of the country. Hair looks great.
Thank you Glenn, take care :)
Nice to see you back again. There is a nice spot is not very far from where you are it's called the glen Etive.Looking forward to see
Living the life. Good for you, Becky.👍🙂🏴
thank you! Take care
A great and famous Scottish mountainneer was known as the Fox of Glencoe because he climbed many cliffs in the aarea. That mountaineer was Hamish McInnes who just passed away some weeks ago.
Glad there's a video from Becky 😂 👍🇵🇭
Glencoe looks beautiful. Think it's about an hour from me. Never been but now on my list to do. Being from Wales it's good to watch these videos. Brilliant keep it up.🥰
Always waiting your content :)
aw thanks!
I’ve decided to hike The West Highland way next year because of your videos. Thanks for the inspiration 👋
aw amazing! I hope it goes really well :)
Very enjoyable video, you’ve inspired me to dig my boots back out 🤓
Go for it!
I wish my wife was as interested in camping as I am! Or your are. Still though, she tags along without grumbling. I need to watch more of your videos as I love them! I’ve always camped x
This looks a lot like the foothills of Alberta, but at night you'd hear the beying of wolves and coyotes. Your camera work is great, that place is beautiful. Have fun making great memories. Take care. 🐾From Wild Rose Country 🌸✌☺
Thanks so much for making people aware I do believe it’s about educating people, 🌍💚leave no trace 🏴 x
Loving your videos Becky ...think I will have to change my name when I do visit the Glen...ha ha..
Thank you, ahaa no!
I always watch your videos. Your videos are good
aw thanks!
Great video 👌🏻 have you ever been down south to Dartmoor? That’s my stomping ground, you should come down for a few nights and explore the secrets of Dartmoor’s National Park 👍🏻

Another great video Becky, looks a great camp spot. completely agree with what you were saying , those who Dont #leavenotrace aren't real wildcampers .
hope you have a great Christmas
ATB Dave
Thank you Dave, Merry christmas also!
Beautiful of nature in life
Cracking video lots of great information in this one mate as for LNT I just wish everyone would stick to that nothing worse than being out in a fantastic location and finding a mess atvb jimmy 😎😎
Thank you Jimmy, yes its a real shame! Take care
Great that you did a bit of a talk about Nepal. This exhibition visits Scotland regularly but I have never been in the right place at the right time to go and see it. Such adaptable and resourceful people from one of the poorest countries in the world. Somebody at work once came up to me and said he was doing the Everest Base Camp trek and would I sponsor. I said yes, but I did say that you have to find out and tell me what your organisation is doing for the Nepali people. In particular whether any of the money goes into building roads, schools and hospitals in Nepal and whether the porters have warm clothing provided for them and the same food and medical care as the trekkers from wealthy western countries. I know a farming couple who did it and they said that the porters had to sleep outside under blankets while the trekkers had tents and warm sleeping bags - which the porters had carried and put up for them. Also that if one of the porters is sick or injured and has to be invalided out of the trek, they don't get paid and another porter from the same village also has to drop out to help them get back home. Some of the trekking companies are up front about what they do to benefit the Nepali people but sadly not all of them.
Last time I stayed in Glencoe I stayed in a rented cottage. When the owner got wind that I want to move to Scotland she said she was about to retire and sell up. Quite seriously would I buy her cottage!
Well done , Glencoe is so atmospheric. Done a lot of solo stuff and its really nice to meet folk which is easier on your own. Like you I loved Scotland so much I moved up here. BTW try not to tell everyone. Unfortunately we're not the only place where campers leave their crap I had similar experience in Portugal.
A beautiful place x
I would love to see Scotland. My great Grandmother was a MacDonald.
A lot of Scots settled in Ulster hence Ulster\scot was born, a lot of McDonald's here
This is such an American thing to say
You’re certainly a ‘ braw wee lassie’ Becky. A very special place in my long mountaineering life is Glencoe. Thanks so much for the message re leaving no trace. I fear that the morons who come to such places just to drink and crap will eventually spoil things for the rest of us who cherish our wild places. Keep up the great videos, brings back great memories for the likes of me and will add to your store of great memories for your own future. By the way the last time I was at the Clachaig Inn Deacon Blue were playing for the evening, a great Scottish band you’re probably too young to remember...?
Aw thanks Frank, glad the video is bringing back some memories. Bet you've got some cracking ones :) No, I haven't heard of them sadly but bet it was a great atmosphere
amazing area to be at.
It sure was!
Well done Becky for bringing up the important subject of leaving no trace and respecting the outdoor environment. I totally agree that this year has been an awful year for the wild camping community. Unfortunately I very much doubt that the people who would benefit the most from your advice and tips are probably not watching or actually interested in following any rules that involve giving the country side the respect it deserves😕Thankfully the majority of people do respect it however and hopefully next year we can return to more normal times when the package holidays are up and running again.
Another lovely little video Becky👏 All the best to yourself, your family and Buster. Happy Christmas and stay safe🙂
Thank you so much, have a love Christmas!
Pretty place!
Great video, Girl. Absolutely right about the bad name wild camping is getting and it’s putting all of us in a bad light. It’s such a shame. Well done for highlighting it in such a mature way. Anyway, another inspiring “wee” video 😜. Love it. ATB - Dave
Thank you so much Dave
Yer some lass!
Welcome up the road anytime
Don't know if you were trying to be funny or not but I got my kill when you said 'morning from the banshee' after the night in the pub 😂
Was planning to my one of my dream hikes, the Annapurna circuit this year but had too shelve the idea. Hopefully i can tick it of the list next year. Great job on emphasising the importance of leave no trace, if bigfoot can do it so can we.
Beer and Haggis in Glencoe. Doesn't get any better than that Becks. Great video :-) TY
Ahaa certainly not! Cheers :)
