His comments are: "Glencoe is Total Inspiration, its environment is diverse and unique and has something special to offer any visitor to the Glen, no matter what their age, level of fitness or particular interest". "But be Warned, the Holistic and atmospheric influence of Glencoe works its way into you and has a habit of pulling visitors back time and time again. You have been warned!"
