Tour Scotland short 4K Summer travel video, with Scottish bagpipes music, of the East side of Glencoe on ancestry, history visit and trip to the Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Glen Coe, Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Comhann, is located in the north of the county of Argyll, close to the border with the historic province of Lochaber, within the modern council area of the Highlands. This famous Scottish Glen 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, it also featured in Highlander, Rob Roy, Braveheart and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
