Glen Coe Scotland

For sheer breathtaking
beauty Glen Coe is the
most impressive place
we've been in Ireland or
Scotland. This has been
the setting for several films
including Braveheart and
Harry Potter scenes. It
had rained in the morning but the sun came through and
the mountains sparkled in the mist. Streams and
waterfalls run down the sides of these former
volcanoes every mile or less. This is part of the
country where the Highlanders began the kilt and
plaid traditions. And, of course, the scene of many
a battle between clans














The Three Sisters-it is possible
to identify the original volcanoes
and glacial movement that
formed the area.












The first waterfall we came to
as made the loop. We passed it again
on the return trip and wondered
why we had bothered to take a
picture of one so unimpresive.
True to Europe, the roads are
narrow with no place to stop
and snap a photo. (Also,
not only do Scottish not get cold
but they never need any "facilities")
