Which Region is known Heart of the Scottish Highlands?

Glencoe is a region in Scotland, specifically a scenic valley in the Scottish Highlands. It is located in the Argyll and Bute council area, and it is part of the larger Lochaber district. Glencoe is famous for its dramatic landscape, with towering mountains, deep valleys, and rugged terrain, making it one of Scotland’s most iconic and picturesque locations. Historically, Glencoe is also known for the Glencoe massacre of 1692, when 38 members of the MacDonald clan were killed by government forces. This tragic event has become an integral part of the area's cultural identity.
