Old Photograph Road Through Glencoe Highlands Scotland
Old photograph of the road through Glencoe, Highlands, Scotland. Glen Coe where the infamous Massacre of Glencoe took place in 1692, is surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery and is popular with serious hill walkers, rock and ice climbers. It has been seen in numerous films, including Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as the home of Hagrid. When Thomas Telford came here in the early years of the nineteenth century, surveying his new roads. The only route across Rannoch Moor had been the old Military road, but from Altnafeadh at the bottom of the Devils Staircase all the way through to Ballachulish, although a Drover's Road had been built in 1786.
