What should you do in Glencoe?

In the Scottish Highlands lies the picturesque valley of Glen Coe with its village of the same name. With its breathtaking landscape, the region is often used as a film set, for example for "Highlander", "Braveheart" or "James Bond: Skyfall". Go on endless hikes and enjoy the viewpoints, for example around the Three Sisters mountains, or climb a few peaks yourself, such as those of the Munro Mountains or the impressive Buachaille Etive Mòr massif.
