GlenCoe, mountain range in the west highlands of Scotland.
It was the site of the "infamous" Glencoe Massacre of 1692. It took place during the clan wars of that period. A group of clan soldiers the Campbells were given shelter by an opposing clan, the MacDonald; (the honour amongst the clans was that even your enemy would be offered shelter in times of need) during February of that year. The campbell clan stayed with the MacDonalds for 12 days until the fateful night of February 13th. Next morning 38 MacDonalds lay slain.
I have camped out their a couple of times in the early spring and it is the only place i know where you can be the only person there, but not feel alone. In the spring, banks of mist linger at the bottom of the glen giving it a aura of dread and mourning. The nights are not only cold, but have a sense of something's there watching you.
There is supposed to be a ghostly piper, but so far I haven't seen anything, nor do I particularly want to either.
