LOCHABER AND GLENCOE: LANDSCAPES IN STONE

Lochaber and Glen Coe are known for their history - even more turbulent is their geology. The eroded remains of ancient volcanoes form some of the breath-taking scenery for which Glen Coe is famous, as well as the highest mountain in Britain. Ice played its part as glaciers scraped their passage across the landscape, carving deep glens and shaving the tops off the highest mountains. This is a fascinating introduction to an area which features some of Scotland's oldest rocks and some of its most dramatic scenery.
