A trip to Glencoe

WOW! It's quite a difference to see Glencoe in February. The two times I was there was in May 2003 and July 2008. It was eerier in May. Thanks for the pics.

Doing tartan for tartan's sake yet again...

Considering the Massacre at Glencoe took place on a 13th of February, this would seem like a perfect time to make a visit there. All you would need would be a snowstorm and maybe some people chasing you with guns blazing to make it completely authentic.

I like the look of that tartan Rex. Those are my kind of colours. I would wear a kilt in that.

Beautiful pics, Thanks for posting them. What was the story on the parade?

A beautiful but deadly place. It is worth remembering that people still die on those hills. Three only a couple of weeks ago.Just there.

Gorgeous! The snow is beautiful, and the water is such an incredible color. We have a few rivers in Idaho that look like that, and it never ceases to amaze me.
