Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area, Protected mountain area in Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom
The area encompasses Ben Nevis, Britain's highest peak at 1,345 meters, along with Glen Coe valley and the Mamores mountain range spanning 903 square kilometers.
The Glen Coe region holds deep historical significance as the location of the 1692 massacre where 38 members of Clan MacDonald were killed under government orders.
The mountains and valleys within this National Scenic Area appear in numerous Scottish folktales, particularly those involving clans and ancient Highland traditions.
Visitors can access multiple marked trails, including the Mountain Path to Ben Nevis summit, with facilities and information centers located in Fort William and Glencoe village.
The region contains Scotland's second-highest waterfall, Steall Falls, which drops 120 meters through a narrow gorge in Glen Nevis.
