Lonely Planet verdict: Central Scotland
"Scotland's most famous glen [Glen Coe] is a pure microcosm of the magnificent Highlands. Heathered ranges, waterfalls, rivers and staggering mountains reign in this changeable and untamed domain ... Walkers of all abilities challenge themselves with the variety of spectacular hikes"
