Glen Coe
Glen Coe is located in the western part of the Scottish Highlands in the United Kingdom and is a natural area renowned for its deep valleys, steep peaks, and vast wilderness scenery. It was shaped by ancient glacial activity and volcanic geological processes, with continuous high mountains, rock walls, and rolling slopes on both sides of the valley, while the river flows through the middle and towards Loch Leven. The mountains here have distinct silhouettes, and vegetation changes with altitude, with grassy slopes, rocky terrain, and mountain streams being common. It also presents different light and shadow effects as the weather shifts between sun and clouds. It is characterized by its pristine Highland scenery, abundant hiking routes, and open natural environment, and is also one of the most iconic mountain views in Scotland.Ballachulish · 36.8 km from Oban

The magnificent castle embodies the history, culture, and glory of Scotland. The visitor pathways and signage were well-organized, and there was even an audio guide in Mandarin, which allowed tourists like us who don't speak English to gain a deeper understanding of the castle. The staff at the visitor center were warm and attentive, and the police officers in the square outside the castle were friendly and responsible, helping me find my lost wife.

The riverbed at the foot of the mountain is covered with huge stones like dinosaur eggs. Going up the Shuo River, you can enjoy the mountains from an excellent perspective. The sun is scorching at this moment, and it stings slightly on the skin, but it can't stop people's enthusiasm for hiking.
