There is a "something" there that is hard to describe. Scotland is a country where you feel the presence of those who have gone before us, no more so than in Glencoe. It's beautiful, haunting, tragic and powerful.

Glencoe is an area which I always believe should be viewed in slightly inclement weather. With mist and a little rain the place can become almost haunting.

Related to the Glencoe Massacre: In my college days, a professor of British History recounted a tale told by a former student named Campbell. This fellow once had occasion to meet the Prince of Wales, and introduced himself to HRH. Upon hearing that the man's name was Campbell, Prince Charles told him, "You and I are members of the two most hated families in Scotland".

@Vicki. I bet he was feigning it. A Tour Guide; a Sassanach, and he didn't know anything about Glencoe. In all seriousness Vicki, I have a lot of English friends, and I will swear this on a stack of Bibles; everyone of them asked me if I had been though Glencoe; especially around 3pm or when the sun was setting and the mist was settling over the Glen. I asked why they would ask such a question, and everyone of them (independently) said They felt quite eerie travelling through Glencoe. They said they felt as though a million eyes were boring into them. My response was what do you expect. The Argyles (Campbell of Argyle) murdered The Clan Macdonald of Glencoe, whilst the slept. I had been though Glencoe and never felt that eeriness which I told them about and they asked why was that. I said: Because I am a Highlander, I was one of their own.

During my first visited to Scotland back in 1984, the group I was with went to the Highlands for an overnight camping trip on a small inlet. I was astounded by the landscape. I saw a tree growing out of a big rock. I live in a forest, so seeing that landscape seems more magical to me. I love it. Can't wait to visit again. On my trip a couple years ago, I mainly stayed around the Edinburgh and Perth area. I took a coach to a different city every day. WHAT A BLAST!

My father who doesn't have Scottish as far as he knows, has always had an absolutely huge fascination with Scottish anything. He identifies with much of the persecution that happened, especially of the Scottish Covenanters. He even wrote a poem about Richard Cameron. Samuel Rutherford's writing are a favorite in our family. My father has Irish ancestry and his Irish Tartan is very similar to the Tartan of the Scottish Clan my mother has in her ancestry.

Thank you Shaun for brightening up this exiled Scot's heart. The last time I was home was back in 1998 and 2001. Prior to that I was exiled in Australia in 1961. My heart craves my Bonnie Scotland, and although my wife is the daughter of a Scot's born father; the cold weather does not do much for her yet; ONE DEGREE above Freezing is a HEAT Wave for me. Unfortunately; my advanced years and broken bones prevents me from travelling anymore. I have always said though that the day I die; my soul will wing it's way to the Highlands and the cost of travel will be FREE. LOL. Keep posting these wonderful videos. slàinte mhòr !

Fantastic vid Shawn! I have been to Glencoe with a Scottish tour bus, mostly Americans. We stopped at the McDonald center gift shop. I want to come back, and see more of Glencoe. I use to go to many of our Scottish games, and competed in Pibroch on my Henderson pipes. The tunes and words of the Massacre oF Glencoe always make me cry. I was at a Highland Games in US where there was a stigma against the Campbell Clan tent. They ended up leaving. A few other of our games there were no Campbell Clan represented. Of course, the McDonalds are proudly at the games! Thanks for sharing this video.

I have never been to Glen Coe but my dad used to tell me about our family history. Once when I was working in the corporate world I had a one-on-one requirements-gathering meeting with someone who turned out to be a Campbell. He started the meeting off by questioning if we should be alone in the room together. :) That was the first time I'd met a Campbell who knew some of the history. I definitely want to learn more.

What a beautiful place and your parents place looks so welcoming. Thanks for taking us along. As an American, the landscape in the Highlands looks so foreign with the forests gone now for centuries. I live in central Vermont and have similar topography, but everything here is covered in forest. In fact it is a protected national forest. So seeing your Highlands has a very different feel. Beautiful but stark.

I had the honor of visiting Glencoe when I was in Scotland last spring. Even on an overcast day with the waterlogged ground swamping my shoes it was magical with light snow falling. The mountains really reminded me of home in Alaska. Thanks for risking your car windscreen for us; we have the same problem with rocks getting kicked up as well. When you rent a car here you can get extra insurance specifically for it that I recommend getting. Would be interesting to find out if the same can be done in Scotland.

Thanks for the lovely adventure video. It pleases me to see the deer so accustomed to humans. I learned yesterday that a performance group from Milpitas High School (my town) will be performing in the Fringe Festival. So a little direct connection from my town to yours. Cheers.

The last time I visited it was s very warm and still day. I got out of the car and it was hauntingly beautiful and very quiet. The silence was deafening and so beautiful.

Pretty area! Back in '86, I took the train up to Inverness, where I rented a car, and drove it to the Loch Ness area, spending the night at the Inverness youth hostel, which as I remember, was beautiful. Also, do you know that there's a north end suburb of Chicago named Glencoe? Rocks hitting the window is also a very real thing over here, especially in Alaska and northern Canada, where there's a prevalence of gravel roads.

I really enjoyed this video Shaun. I’ve been watching several of your videos (though sometimes you don’t list the links in the comments that you mention you will during the videos making it a bit hard to find the ones I want to watch next), but alas I keep watching. The music and camera shots were really great in this episode especially. It made me nostalgic for a place I’ve never been... bravo lad! Keep up the great work! From Texas USA

My lifelong dream has always been been to go there,I will make it someday! I'm from Pennsylvania, my mother's maiden name was Campbell and I've always been fascinated with our heritage.. it's truly sad what happened there,but I can tell you I'm from a really great family and very loving family. You're video was great and Scotland is beautiful! Even if I'm just watching a video it's exactly what I picture... God bless..

Glencoe...one of the places on my bucket list I've always wanted to travel to, but never had the money to spare. My maternal grandmother was a MacDonald who's great grandfather was the first Presbyterian minister to arrive in Ada Valley, Arkansas ages ago in a covered wagon carrying a portage pedal powered organ (apparently a lot of Scots settled in that valley at the base of Petite Jean Mountain, it reminded them of home). I grew up hearing stories of my MacDonald family, at reunions, and swore one day to make the pilgrimage to Glencoe and pay my respects to the ancestors for my departed mom and the rest of the family who couldn't make it there. One day....one day....
