Glencoe Lochan is a highly rated hidden gem in Scotland that is popular with tourists — but is still considered to be a tranquil and beautiful spot for a day out.
As we enter August, now is the perfect opportunity to get out and explore the stunning landscapes of Scotland. Whether you are a local or a visitor, there is an abundance of sights to see and activities to enjoy.
The forest owes its existence to Lord Strathcona, who created it to alleviate his Canadian wife's homesickness. Often compared to a miniature Lake Louise in British Columbia, a loch encircled by majestic conifers and rugged mountains sits at the heart of the woodland. If you are heading to Glencoe Lochan yourself, there are plenty of benches, picnic tables, and pontoons that offer space to sit down for a snack or a meal after your hike.
