Glencoe War Memorial

Stunning place to visit and learn about the massacre between macdonalds and campbells

Atmospheric, beautiful scenery surrounding this monument. Just to sit there and imagine that historical tragedy happening was awe inspiring.

This is the the saddest stories of clan betrayal in Scotish history. The memorial site and surrounding garden area is beautiful and a nice tribute to the fallen people.There is seating area for anyone that wants to have a moment to rest or soak everything in. There is parking down the little road and only a short walk to the memorial site.

Beautiful and eerie. Such a surreal feeling walking around here

Stunning countryside surrounding this memorial. It is tucked up a side road so could be easily missed however quick ask of the friendly locals pointed me in the right direction. It is a small area but a beautiful memorial - as there is a family connection for me i loved it but the surrounding area is however outstanding and would recommend to anyone who loves nature and history.

Warning!!! Do not take a motorhome or lorry here!!!! No wiggle room in tiny alley!!!!!!This memorial may not look like much, but it was worth navigating the tiny twisting roads of Glencoe in a motorhome for me (and nearly losing a bumper.)It's the reminder of February 13, 1692 when 38 men, women and children of the MacDonald clan were slaughtered in their own beds by their kinsman the Campbell's after 12 days of hosting them as revered guests. It was not the kill numbers that were so shocking... But the treachery after truce. The old Clan Chief MacDonald was shot in his bed in the night whilst getting up to greet what he thought were clans men arriving. His old wife was stripped naked and her fingers bitten off for her rings... And left to freeze to death in the snow.The term killing in cold blood was coined from this massacre.The highland clans today still say the curse, Never trust a Campbell.""

Lovely site great views very helpful staff excellent showers and toilets

Si conoces la historia es para obligatoria aunque sea un minuto para recordar lo sucedido.
