Glencoe

Extracts from a trip to Glencoe in early spring. A walk from the gorge down to the village with a detour up to the Glencoe Lochan

[@Team-fabulous]

Andy I would travel from Northern Ireland on my motorcycle to the Highlands five or six times a year just for the stunning beauty. I really enjoy your videos as they take me back to a sunny day on the bike. Scotland the brave.. Scotland the beautiful..

[@thomaswilson1312]

Very beautiful, thanks Andy

[@ncolgan5038]

The way you positioned your camera is everything ♥️ How can someone even dislike such magical video??

[@henrylinsdell9598]

Me and my wife Wendy love watching all your videos, so well produced and fabulous scenery and information. This is my personal favourite, me favourite place on earth. Thanks for taking your time out to do these super videos

[@JR-mr1tw]

That was lovely, thanks

[@HelenandDave]

Stunning! We’re there right now as a result of watching your film back in January. It’s everything you described & more. No ripples today, the Lochan was like a mirror. Thank you Andy 👍

[@racampbell6]

The pleasure is mine

lovley met my wife in glen coe. Thanks for making and sharing this. cheers

[@bethenecampbell6463]

I too have experienced the irony of being a Campbell in Glen Coe. Though not on April 1st! It's a beautiful area and it's important to know our history as well. Even the unpleasantness.

[@kenselayre]

Hi Andy.... Your videos are Beautifully photographed...your narrative is pleasant and informative....I love the bits of history you include in your narration. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and look forward to following you on your next trek....Happy Trails!

[@ITisCRAIG]

Andy, I think this is one of your best videos. Big love all the way from Scotland xxxx

[@cycloneaxe]

Walked all the Munro's up there and go back regularly for a camp and beer in the clachaig and kingshouse, also have taken the kids sledging up on the ski resort, it's just simply a special place wither you are up on the hills or down low, fantastic vid, cheers 👍

[@McNair1952]

Glad to see you are back and making excellent films. The house you mention at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> was once the home of Hamish MacInnes, a pioneer of modern mountaineering.

[@rc59191]

Would love to live in there wish my family never would of left.

The best film of its sort Ive happened upon well done thanks! Will

[@whoisascholtens]

Nice work Andy. Bought my wife a souvenir plot in Glencoe, but have never been. Looks as awesome as I had imagined.

[@jonagilly]

Sorry to hear you have had health problems. So glad you seem better. Another fantastic video !! Keep well.

Very enjoyable wee video. Thanks.

Hi Andy great video having done the west highland way Sept 2013 my son & I saw some stunning scenery however havent been to the village spent night camping at Kingshouse though Thanks for Sharing

[@English_Lessons_Pre-Int_Interm]

When my students are in a mood to listen to some difficult English accent, I usually begin with the Scottish. Andy's channel lets them smoothly adapt to the accent schock, because it's not as harsh as Black Country or Manchester. Thank you for your still distinguishable accent, Andy Campbell. P.S. Black Country accent is an ideal torture for your ears. Not too strong to kill, because you can only die from the boredom of misunderstanding.

[@HazelAgnes48]

So excellent I watched it twice. Hazel.

[@BETULLA954]

Wonderful!

[@johncranwell3783]

That was a lovely revisit to Glencoe thank you for having such a nice way of presenting... I could tell your heart was there. For me it brought back heart thumping memories of such amazing regular visits at Christmas and New Year in February and spring... lovely to see those Peaks so many times I walked on my own. Blessings John

[@jazzman1626]

Excellent filming. I’d take a guess that you are influenced by the much missed Tom Weir. I can’t get enough of his videos. You sound more like Winston Ingram from Still Game though 😂. It’s great to see filming without the selfie stick photography. Nice and steady. Make more of this quality. Edit: I’ve just subscribed 👍🍻.

[@racampbell6]

Thanks for the welcome comments and the subscription. I try not to be influenced by anyone (especially not Winston lol) - I never appeared in my early videos - it was always my wife but when she was no longer able to accompany me on my travels there was no option but to use myself to link the shots.

[@jazzman1626]

Andy Campbell The reference to Tom Weir was meant as a compliment.

[@racampbell6]

@@jazzman1626 - I realise that but I just couldn't resist responding to the Winston comment, again thank you for your comments

[@alijdapeperkamp5257]

Wat zijn we als mens toch nietig bij die overweldigende natuur, prachtige video.

I like the music in the background :)

Ross Inglis - yes.. perfect with gorgeous views

[@christianhbuck]

Watching this in 2019. Glencoe tomorrow. Cheers

[@langdale55]

Wonderful walk, but make sure you carry enough food and water in a well packed bag pack. The snack van in the lay-by might be out if rolls!

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I so enjoyed this. I'm looking forward to seeing it for myself, in October.

[@deankay76]

Might see ya there we plan to head there for a weekend ...looks stunning 👍

[@brianbrooking496]

Did you go?

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

@@brianbrooking496 yes, we did. Scotland is a gorgeous country and Glencoe is the jewel in the crown.

[@brianbrooking496]

@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 that is great... it is such a beautiful place. I hope you guys had a great time. I love the sound of the bellowing Stags over Glencoe.... I have fallen in love with the location

[@English_Lessons_Pre-Int_Interm]

Hello, mr. Andy. I am an English tutor and I got very interested with your accent. IN fact, I found it new to me. I subscribed to your videos out of curiosity, to study your accent. Surely, I don`t subscribe to boring people.____ But, let me ask you about the place where you were brought up. Please, tell me about the place where you were brought up. I am enchanted with the UK accents and I have a friend from Birmingham; but your pronunciation is so interesting and new to my ears.

[@DuffMacDonald]

Hey Andy. I am headed here in a few weeks from Canada. My Great Grandparents came from here and this area and moved to Glencoe Ontario Canada in 1850. What month was this that you were here for this walk? Is this what it will look like for me in a few weeks? Or is it more green? Thanks for the lovely video btw. Brought a tear to my eye. DM

[@racampbell6]

[@racampbell6]

Andy Campbell thanks for watching - your comments are appreciated. The walk was on the 1st of April - much of the rest was also around Easter... it's not always sunny though - I am near enough to pick and choose my weather.

[@Eoghanbeag1]

Superbly photographed! Please note that the main village is called Carnach (place of cairns). Tigh phuirt means house of the port, i.e. the port of the Glencoe estate. Read Highways & Byways etc. by Seton Gordon and Highland Heritage by Barbara Fairweather for reasonable information - except that people called Campbell were not demonized by native Gaelic speakers. Warnings were given in 1692.

[@deathstariilucy4557]

Do you know that the first history of Glencoe was a Supervolcano

[@22lovejon]

great video

[@rossshikingadventures363]

Hello do you know if the city link drivers ok with dropping people off in the three sister area ? I see official stops at the visitor centre and ski resort

[@racampbell6]

I would think so - there's a big layby there - he let me off at the Gorge which is quite near it - I asked him in plenty of time

[@bigboaby555]

nae gloves . fair play

[@srattey]

I really like this video. What is the opening music please?

[@racampbell6]

The opening music is called ‘Forefathers’ by Brian Keane from the CD ‘Story Lines’ SmartSound

[@molecatcher3383]

Sad to see the Scottish hills so barren and bare. Hopefully one day they will allow the natural tree cover to return after the removal of the sheep and deer.

[@gronygroovy]

Brilliant video, makes me homesick for Scotland! Can I ask does anyone or Andy have a map of this route please or a link to a map? I would love to do this walk with my sons. Thank you

[@racampbell6]

This is a linear walk. When I did this walk I was unable to drive so I took the City Link from Glasgow and the driver let me off at the gorge. I doubled back east along the main road a bit to where there is a large cairn to the north and a car park to the south. I took the road south for a couple of hundred yards and went for a view down the glen from just above the gorge. I went back to the cairn and followed the path from a wee bridge at the cairn down the glen as far as the white cottage beside the bridge (Jimmy Saville’s house).This path is on the north side of the main road Just beyond the white cottage the path down the glen is on the south side of the road and parallel to it. After about an hour it reaches the turn of for old road to Glencoe which passes the Clachaig Inn and the walk to An Tor and Signal Hill. That is the route I took. When it reaches the old bridge over the River Coe there is the option to walk around the Glencoe Lochan trail (this adds on another 1.5 miles). Make your way back to the River Coe Bridge and you are in the village. It is about 8 miles long from the Cairn to the far end of Glencoe (towards Ballachuilish) without the Lochan detour). I then got the bus back to Glasgow at the Glencoe Crossroads bus stop. Sorry for the long winded explanation, thanks for watching, Andy

[@gronygroovy]

Andy Campbell Finally found where you started, I think! Thank you for your help sir!

[@AndreaFantini]

I'd like to do the same walk, any chance of getting the starting coordinates? Thanks!

[@adampetten5349]

Is the high sharp peak the unused side of the lofty ski mountain Nissan Nam bian

[@adampetten5349]

Bidean Nam Bian..I surely detest autocorrect.

[@racampbell6]

Do you mean the peak on the left of the Intro shot - if so it is the middle of the three sisters 'Gearr Aonach' - an outlier of either Stob Coire nan Lochan, Bidean nam Bian or Stob Coire Sgreamhach - the Allt Coire Gabhail in the lost valley flows from each of these mountains then along the left of Gearr Aonach down into the River Coe.

[@adampetten5349]

Andy Campbell Well it's the highest Mountain framing the background 1:49-1:51

[@racampbell6]

from that angle at 1:50 it is probably Stob Coire nan Lochan - I don't think Bidean nam Bian is visible from there

[@adampetten5349]

Andy Campbell Very good

[@racampbell6]

It is just a typical south west of Scotland/Ayrshire accent
