Other Attractions
Loch Achtriochtan
Home of the famous water bull or tarbh usige, a fairy
beast which unlike a water horse was quite harmless.
Rarely seen, black and slippery and small of size.
It comes out of the water at night to graze - so
watch out!
Signal Rock
It is said that this is where the signal fire to begin the massacre was built. It was made famous in Stevenson's 'Kidnapped' as the place where Davie and Alan Breck rested. 400 yards west of Clachaig Inn on north bank of the River Coe.Bridge of Coe and the Monument
The monument to MacIain, Chief of the Clan MacDonald and those of his people who died in the massacre of 1692. The monument was erected in 1884 near to the old bridge over the River Coe.Eilean Munda - St Munda's Isle
Christianity was brought to Glencoe by the Pictish monk Kenneth. Later St Findan Munda came and built a church on the island in Loch Leven.Ossian's Cave
A huge cleft in the rocks on the north face of Aonach
Dubh - Glencoe's third Sister. It takes a difficult
scramble and short rock climb to reach it. Ossian
was the son of Fingal and Glencoe's first bard. (Not
recommended for those without climbing experience)
Inverigan
Scene of carnage where nine men were bound and shot during the massacre.Coire Gabhail - The Hidden Valley
A hanging glacial valley between Glencoe's first two Sisters - Bheinn Fhada and Gearr Aonach. It has a level valley floor and is reputed to be where the MacDonalds hid their rustled cattle.Henderson Stone - Clach Eanruig
The stone was spoken to by a soldier before the massacre and thus warned a family who heard to the impending disaster. They then fled to the hills.
