The Lochaber and Glencoe area is rich in historical associations.
It was at Glenfinnan that Bonnie Prince Charlie started his long
march southwards to lay claim to the British throne, and Glencoe
was the scene of one of the most vicious massacres in Scottish
history. But a longer and even more turbulent history is played out
geologically. Ancient volcanoes erupted in massive explosions,
causing shock waves that reverberated around the planet. Their
eroded remains form some of the breathtaking scenery for which Glen
Coe is famous, as well as the highest mountain in Britain - Ben
Nevis. Ice too played its part as glaciers scraped their passage
across the landscape, carving deep glens and shaving the tops off
the highest mountains. This book is fascinating introduction to the
geology of the area, which features some of Scotland's oldest rocks
and some of its most stunning and dramatic scenery.
