there is alot of scenic views in scotland further north of glencoe but there is something amazing about the drive over rannoch moor and down into glencoe with its mountains towering either side...
ive been here dozons of times and i am always moved by its scenic beauty...rain snow or shine...
today the road was quiet so easy to pull over for pics...
buachaille etive mor (the white shepherd) towers above at 3345ft at the head of the glen...
it is the classic scottish mountain rising from ground level to its peak...
then the walls close in a bit as the road descends alongside the river coe...i think the snow will be on the peaks late into summer this year...
hanneke loved it!...
great scenery at ground level too...
happy days...
we sat and had lunch below the 2000ft+ three sisters...
and the anoch eagach ridge...
down through the pass of glencoe and past glencoe village and ballachulish...
and around the winding road above loch linnhe to kinlochleven...
and a lovely mossy woodland walk to the grey mare waterfall...
next up to fort william...and anoch mor (nevis range)
Mate, it brings back very happy memories, me and wifey had our hooneymoon way back in 1992 doing just the route you did. We started with a few nights in Edinburgh taking in the Tattoo, the festival and the fringe. We got as far north as Ullapool and finished at Oban via Skye and the Applecross peninsular. Totally stunning. We did all again in 2002 and plan to do it too in 2012.
