Walking in the Glencoe area is wonderful and safe - recognised as some of the finest in Scotland. Everywhere you go there are short and long walks in Lochaber.  You can walk in Glencoe forests, by Glencoe lochans, along Glencoe seashore, along the River Coe, walk easily in Glencoe mountains. See the wonderful Castle at Stalker. Take the family on most of the walks, even the little ones on many of them. The West Highland Way runs from the top of Glencoe to Fort William

These are the closest of the 20 walks nearby the cottage - some of the finest walks around Glencoe. The rest of them are in our cottage guide for walkers

Find five different 100 year old piers along Loch Linnhe shore to Ballachulish. 3 miles. Walk along the new cycle track in safety and dry. Start outside our Appin cottage

Cuil Hill. 5 minutes. Look all round you to see the mountains of Ben Nevis, Ardgour, Mull to the South West, Loch Linnhe and the Glencoe mountains.  The view  is 4 million years old. 3 miles

Glencoe Lochan. 15 minutes It is a beautiful spot for gentle forest walking, around the hill and in the woods. Several forest walks, and hill walks all signposted. Very good for children

15 minutes The old road walk to Glencoe Signal Rock. Most Mc Donald clan households escaped the Glencoe massacre having been warned by the Campbell soldiers who stayed with them. They came over the hills to us at Duror and Kentallen.  Walk by the River Coe 2 miles

15 minutes The Pap of Glencoe. You can walk up the mountain fairly easily from the Old Road at Glencoe. You’ll be puffed out at the top. Supposedly, a piper carried the news of  the Massacre from the Pap
