Next stop: Glencoe, often called the most scenic and wild landscape in Scotland. During  our stay, we will visit the Lost Valley, a remote hike where some  scrambling is required, but the dramatic landscape is worth the effort.  We will also visit Stalker Castle, a stunning photo favorite, and iconic  stops such as Rannoch Moor, Buachaille Etive Mor, Loch Etive, Lochan na  h-Achlaise as well as hidden destinations that we don't name online to  protect the areas.

Note: while in Glencoe, we will have an afternoon of classroom style editing instruction by Jonathan
