Itinerary description

Show original
Glencoe is considered the most spectacular valley in the Highlands. The innumerable mountains that surround it hide other mysterious valleys. Perhaps the most famous of these is Lost Valley ("Lost Valley"). This remote valley, through which we will walk, is famous (they say) for having served as hiding place for the cattle thieves and the cattle that they stole, during the time when this place was dominated by the MacDonald clan of Glencoe. Others say that the survivors of this clan took refuge here after the Glencoe massacre,
(http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masacre_de_Glencoe).
The place is beautiful and the road is not difficult, if the weather is good.
