Glencoe, the colours of autumn

Glencoe, a wild, powerful and austere moorland where Scotland's history is imprinted. Autumn colours this land a reddish-orange colour that dies in the rain and is reborn shining in the golden light that comes after the storm. The dark clouds are a reminder of the cruel battles of the past, in a dull and grey atmosphere that the bright rays of the sun tear on their return to make way for a triumphant light, in a crisp and fragrant air.

Did you know?

Glencoe is based on the remains of an ancient super volcano that was active 420 million years ago but has long since disappeared. Although all of the land was eroded during the last ice age, some of the lava from that time is still present in the geological structures of Glencoe.

The father of James Bond, Andrew Bond, is from Glencoe.
