Glen Coe is spoilt for beautiful mountains and munros (peaks over 3000ft/914m) but perhaps the best view is from one of the smaller hills, a little known peak called Beinn a' Chrulaiste. On a rare sunny day in early spring I hiked alone to the top in time for sunset.
Remember that hiking and mountain climbing can be dangerous. The videos on my channel are for entertainment only (other than where specified). Always prepare well and be willing to abandon a trip if it becomes dangerous due to weather or unexpected trail conditions. If you are new to hiking and the great outdoors it's always a good idea to go with a guide or a more experienced companion.
And remember - give the wildlife some space, leave no trace, go quietly and enjoy it out there!
