Post a comment / questionWe Love Betty
We first visited Glencoe in July 2006, unfortunately my daughter Shannon suffers from serious seizures and whilst we were there, she took a really bad one. We were seriously concerned and rang our local hospital back in Liverpool, but they advised us to nurse her through it. We called in to the visitors centre, but Shanny was really out of things, that's when we met Betty.
Betty was so caring and helpful, she actually got shanny to snap out of the seizure and for that we will be eternally grateful. Betty was an absolute credit to Scotland, so last Summer we decided to return to Glencoe on our way to Skye. Shannon wanted to call in and thank Betty in person, so she did. Betty was brilliant, she remembered Shannon and bought her a Highland Cow cuddly from the shop. She even promised to name a new calf after Shannon. Betty kept her promise and this week sent Shannon a picture of her new born calf.
I want to thank Betty and just let everyone know about this caring and wonderful lady. Thank You Betty, you will always be in our hearts, not only that, but we will be returning to Glencoe later this year, all due to Betty. I think that when people get awards, people like Betty should be top of the list, she is number one on our list every time. | | From | Reply | Sent 20/04/2008 |

I wanted to spend a day in Glencoe,
on our way home from Inverness we planned to stop for lunch and a easy
short walking trail, see the Visitor Center and enjoy the views. We got in
an accident before Ft. William and were
delayed and did not get to Glencoe until around 6:00PM. I was knocked out
with the views, but could not find my
camera, so I had to borrow friends who
were with me, so I did not take many pics, but I just stood there and took in the views, we stopped many places
on A82 along Loch Leven, what a beautiful area, I someday hope to come back and spend more time in the Glencoe area, do some trails, take lots of pics, meanwhile I have the many sites like yours to look at everyday. Thank you, untill....... | | From | Reply | Sent 18/02/2008 |
Caledonian forest seedlings are they available to buy
I visited Glencoe a few years ago and was interested in the way you were growing from seeds collected from the ancient forest and you mentioned that maybe some saplings might be available to buy. How far along are you in this venture? Are any saplings ready? I for one would love to plant something in my garden from the ancient forests of Scotland bringing them into Edinburgh.

I came with my family to Glencoe this last week and joined the Safari with Scott and Brian on thursday. I would just like to say thankyou for a wonderful and unforgettable experience. It was a privilage to see often un seen places in the area and to learn so much about the flora and forna and geology. It was a delight and I thank you so much for a special experience and day. Thank you to Scott for his wealth of knowledge and taking care of us all throughout the trip. | | From | Reply | Sent 01/07/2007 |

Phenomenon
on the 28th of january 2006 I was on stob dearg in glen coe, the sun came out behind me at the glen etive side and cast a shadow onto the mist at the kingshouse side. I appeared to have a rainbow circle round my shadow. I have read about this before but cant remember the proper title for it. It was "Magical". The views when the mist lifted was excellent, I did.nt want to come down. | | From | Reply | Sent 29/01/2006 |
Re:- Phenomenon
What you saw is called a 'brocken spectre' and is a rare phenomenon, people used to think this was a ghost on the hills. Michael McGregor has a fantastic photograph of this in his exhibition thats well worth a look! | | From | Reply | Sent 30/01/2006 |
My Father's Home
Buchaille Etive Mor is breath taking. My Father, "Wee Sammy Smith" climbed this mountain time after time as a young man. Sam passed away in February 15, 1992. His ashes are now on the top of this mountain. I visited the site a few years back and I have to say, Glenco and the Buchaille Etive Mor are absolutely, "Heaven". I am happy that this was is final resting place. | | From | Reply | Sent 28/01/2006 |
Dragon enquiry!
Recently here at Glencoe we received an enquiry from Richard in Holland. We were asked about Beithar the dragon who once lived in the area. Now, our information about Beither is a little slight just at the minute; does anyone have any further information about the beast? | | From | Reply | Sent 23/01/2006 |
Language
Your site is presented very well, but you should be embarassed that Gaelic is not included. | | From | Reply | Sent 12/05/2005 |
Re:- Language
I think that the NTS should be proud of bringing a good site together and looking forward to building on the back of this, perhaps including Gaelic, rather than regretting this accomplishment. One step at a time. | | From | Reply | Sent 01/06/2006 |
Re:- Language
Thanks Brian
You've echoed our thoughts exactly! The NTS is currently working to develop and implement a Gaelic policy and something we aspire to doing is translating this site in the future. But in the meantime if there’s anyone out there who’d like to help out with a translation, then please get in touch.
