Tour Scotland 4K travel video of a cloudy road trip drive, with Scottish music, on a narrow single track road, with passing places, through Glen Etive and Glencoe on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the Highlands. At the north end of Glen Etive lie the two mountains known as the Herdsmen of Etive, Buachaille Etive Mòr and Buachaille Etive Beag. Other peaks accessible from the Glen include Ben Starav, located near the head of Loch Etive, and Beinn Fhionnlaidh on the northern side of the glen. Visitors driving to the area usually seek out the famous James Bond's Skyfall and Braveheart film locations, and follow the driving route along the River Etive. Glencoe is a famous Scottish Glen and was the site the of the famous Massacre of Glencoe which began simultaneously in three settlements along the glen at Invercoe, Inverrigan, and Achnacon, although the killing took place all over the glen as fleeing MacDonalds were pursued. 38 MacDonalds from the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by Campbell guests who had accepted their hospitality. This Highland location featured a lot in Skyfall the James Bond movie, mainly because it is the most famous Scottish glen and one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Officially, the Scottish winter runs from the 21st of December through to the 20th March. When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip.
