		Along with Bannockburn and Culloden, Glen Coe ranks among the most famous historic sites in Scotland, notable because of the infamous but incompetent massacre, in 1692, of the MacDonalds of Glen Coe, the smallest of the Clan Donald sects.
		Geologically, the glen is perhaps the world's classic example of "cauldron subsidence," in which a ring fault allows the subsidence of a roughly circular block, thus preserving remnants of older rocks, which have eroded away to nothing elsewhere.
		Echoes of the massacre have reverberated down the centuries and today the memory of the past still hangs heavily over the glen, contributing in a large measure to the tangible sense of melancholy that often descends upon the hillsides.
