- Hey guys! In this video we take an epic drive through Glencoe and Glen Etive! We show you some of the top things to see and do in this beautiful part of Scotland in the UK!
Glencoe is a very popular valley situated just south of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. It is easy to access via car as the A82 road runs right through it and there are many incredible locations along its length where you can hop out of your car and admire the gorgeous views! In addition there are multiple filming locations to spot on your way down this valley and many walking trails start from here if you are in the mood for a longer excursion.
We also take a trip down the equally (if not more!) beautiful Glen Etive which is located right at the eastern end of Glencoe before you reach Rannoch Moor! This valley is stunningly beautiful and was used as the backdrop for a scene in the James Bond movie Skyfall!
Enjoy the video and thanks for all your continued support of our little channel! :)

Excellent. Your videos helped with some planning for our trip to Scotland.
Thank you that's great to hear 😊 have a great trip to Scotland! 👍
I will be in Glen Nevis next week ,Thank you for all the recommendations. 🏕
Thanks for watching! 😊 glad you found the video helpful! 😊
Nice vlog! Well done both of you 👏stunning drone footage 🤙🏼! Thank for sharing! Big 👍
Thanks so much! 😊👍
Once you get past the endless selfies and somewhat meaningless chatter.....
"and here we are walking along this trail"... wow, glad you told us, it's a semi decent video.
Thanks…I guess 😅
Not a nice comment 👎!
Wow, the views together with the music actually gave me goosebumps!
Honestly the views alone when we were there were enough to give us goosebumps! So epic! 😊 glad you enjoyed the music though! We always spend a long time trying to pick the right songs for the videos 👍
Can’t wait to see Glencoe! Very soon now! Thank you!
Enjoy your visit to Glencoe! 😊 thanks for watching! 👍
Glencoe is breathtaking! We will take notes on all those places you hiked and walked to, had no idea! Our time there last year was so short, we knew we were missing out on a lot! Thanks for the beautiful footage and video!
Thanks guys! 😊 Glencoe really is stunning! Even we didn't get to do everything we wanted to there! Would love to return and do some longer hikes around the valley! 😊👍
Currently planning my trip to Scotland in October, I just stumbled on your videos of Grenfinnan and Glencoe and absolutely LOVING them, great inspiration (and breathtaking drone videos) although sadly they make me realise I should have allowed way more time in that country :-) Adding/confirming pit stops to my trip thanks to you, can't wait for the Skye one (and others) hopefully before I get there :-)
Thank you so much! There is just so much to do and see in the Highlands! We were in Scotland for 8 days and felt like we could have spent way longer exploring! I'm sure whatever you end up doing and seeing on your trip you will have an amazing time! :)
fully agree . this footage is stunning. I went to Glencoe in October 2023 a week ago look the weather at that time .. flooded but still nice look this

Brilliant video again guys, enjoyed that! Was great seeing the location of Hagrid’s hut, it’s funny because if it wasn’t pointed out I would never of realised however once it’s been pointed out it’s so obvious! Well done on getting 600 subscribers as well, very well deserved!
Thank guys! As always appreciate you watching 😊 yeah it's such an innocuous location but once you know you can see it straight away! And thanks it was definitely a nice start to 2022! 😊
Great job showing how beautiful Scotland is. Nice job. ~RVA~
Thank you! 😊🙏
@@KittiandJon You are very welcome!
Fantastic footage! I have never fully experienced the Glen Coe area, as we've usually been heading further north, but I would definitely like to do some of these walks near Glen Lochan next time. Also good advice on stopping points on the road along Glen Coe, as it's easy to drive by and miss them. Glen Etive looks stunning too, must try too drive that way sometime.
Thanks Karan! Glen Coe really took our breath away and has some really great, easy trails as well as longer hikes! Something for everyone and amazing views no matter what you choose to do! Thanks for watching :)
You are great vloger. Happy
Thank you! 😊
Great vlog! Just wondering the time of year that you were there. We're headed there in a couple of weeks (June 2022) and will certainly use info from this vlog. Thanks! Nice job!
Thanks Mary! 😊 we were there in August so not too far off from when you'll be going. Hope you have an amazing trip and good weather to go with it 😊
Great Vlog! Would like to ask, if there’s any phone signals on the Glen Etive ? Was it an easy route the A82? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot! 😊 honestly we can't really remember but I think phone signal would be pretty limited there...it really is quite wild! The A82 is an easy route to drive in our opinion with plenty of places to stop and get out. The road down into Glen Etive is a lot smaller but does have plenty of passing places 👍
Glen Etive is definitely on the list, gps on sat nav might be needed just in case ! Great help Thanks so much !
How long was the loop at Signal Rock?
Length was maybe 1.5-2km...took us a couple of hours but we were stopping to film a lot so you could probably do it quicker 👍
Great video, some really good shots in there - what camera and editing software are you using? I have just released a new video would appreciate if you could check it out and leave any feedback. Keep up the good work! I’ll make sure to subscribe 😊
Thanks Joshua! Main camera for filming is GoPro Hero 8 but use the Olympus OM-D E-10 Mark IV for tighter shots. Plus DJI Mini 2 for aerial shots 👍 thanks for watching! Will make sure to check out your video and channel 😊
Loch Anne? Did you bump into an American tourist who helped you with the pronunciation? Lochans are just small Lochs...
😅 well we’re not Scottish so the pronunciation is never going to be perfect!
@@KittiandJonYes sorry about my comment, it seems harsh reading it back. Great drone footage 👏👏
