    I've been all over the northern hemisphere and Glen Coe is still my favourite place on earth.
    I may be biased but it's beauty is undeniable, even in the bitter cold.
    Be thankful there are no midges in the wintertime.
    I hope you like Scotland and had a pleasant stay?

    A Munro is specifically a mountain that's over 3000 feet. Stunning views and another great vid Eddy. Take care lad.

    Hi Eddie you seem to have seen a lot more of Scotland than a lot of us Scots. That is truly a beautiful scene to see at any time of the year, but special at this time of the year. Thank you for showing this you do Scotland proud.

    I think, whenever Glencoe is mentioned, these wintry images spring to mind, at least for me, so it was just the right time of year, and during the right weather conditions that you brought us here. I could imagine how cold it was and how cold you felt, which, on reflection, was why you had the sniffles later in Fort Augustus. Thankyou for the trip, as long as you didn't slip. 🙂

    Very eerie atmosphere at Glencoe, my mind always drifts to the massacre of Glencoe whenever I pass through there. Love it. Scotland has so many amazing places to visit. You should do Bealach na Ba, Applecross, Luskentyre to name just a few.

    Glencoe is my favorite place on earth, I visit every year, the majestic feeling you get is palatable......when it's milder. I done the highest summit of the 3 sisters couple of time . Eddie is right, cameras definitely don't do it justice.

    Eddy, Your in Scotland for sure now ! It changes regardless of what time of year you visit , part of the reason you have to get out of the cities! You need to bring your girlfriend and do the north coast 500 and go right up north sometime. They always say you can get four seasons in a day . Great video as always 👍

    Get yourself into steel falls Eddie it's not far away from Glencoe , go in the summer time as it could be abit dangerous during the winter . It's about a 20 minute walk through the gorge but it opens out to a massive hidden waterfall and surrounded by mountains. Amazing place to camp for a night or 2 aswell.

  • @sueKay
    @sueKay Місяць тому +2

    I waa up there a few days after you. .blue skies and no snow, but probably even colder 🤣 I got the first citylink bus in the morning, and a bus back an hour before sunset and spent hours at Ballachulish and Glencoe Village. You can walk the hidden valley in the Three Sisters, but since it's a remote walk I wouldn't recommend doing it solo. You can also do parts of the West Highland Way right before Glencoe, or the Glencoe orbital path at the village.

    Picked a good time to visit the highlands, until 20 years ago places like that would have a good few feet or more of snow all winter.
    Scotland has a right to roam so, yes you can hike in glencoe.
    Beautiful place with a dark history to it.
    If you need something to rest a camera on try a small bean bag with something like sand or beads inside that will even out the surface underneath and give you a flatter surface on top.
