The word Scotland conjures images of peaceful lochs and romantic castles. These are all true of course, and you'll see plenty of them here. But if you look for a taste of a more rugged side of Scotland, you'd better head to the impressive area of Glencoe in the Highlands. Just a couple of hours' drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh, the valley boasts scenic mountains, quite misty on the day of my visit earlier this month. It's a feast for keen hillwalkers and a great retreat out of the hectic city life. It's also a historical site where the massacre of the MacDonald clan took place in 1672. You don't get much more Scottish than this.
A pied, en moto, en voiture ou à vélo, tous les moyens sont bons pour explorer les paysages grandioses de Glencoe, dans les Highlands, à deux heures de route de Glasgow. Ce lieu chargé d'histoire, au relief tourmenté, est très apprécié des randonneurs. Attention à ne pas négliger son équipement, le climat change vite en Ecosse.
