Glencoe is such a beautiful and expansive area in Scotland. To see it in person was a truly awe-inspiring experience for me. The views are spectacular (unlike anything I had ever seen before)! It’s also an eerie place to be because of its history of the massacre that took place here in 1692.
Lagangarbh Hut
The wee white house in Glencoe is called Lagangarbh Hut. It now serves as an overnight refuge for hikers and climbers wanting to explore the beautiful and challenging peaks nearby.
Bidean Nam Bian Mountain
The three sisters (Hope, Faith, and Charity) in Glencoe.
These are the three peaks (Aonach Dubh, Beinn Fhada, and Gearr Aonach) on the Bidean Nam Bian Mountain. The Three Sisters are the most photographed landmark in Glencoe. Rising up about the beautiful green valleys, the peaks face the road and are best seen on foot. These peaks can be found in the Scottish Highlands, northwest of Glasgow and Stirling.
Legend says there were five sisters. Gaelic myth suggests that the reason there are only 3 mountain peaks now is because the youngest of the five sisters were swept off their feet by two handsome Irishmen. They left the area leaving their 3 sisters behind.
A few scenes within the Harry Potter films were located at Glencoe. The most iconic one would be the filming of Hagrid’s Hut. It was built onsite in Glencoe (It is no longer there.) across the road from Clachaig Inn- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The Forbidden Forest was also filmed here.
