“Anyone who cares for the environment will be impressed with the Glencoe Visitor Centre: it has been designed to ensure that its ‘carbon footprint’ is entirely neutral. Re-opened in 2002, the new buildings which replaced the old 1970’s centre, are constructed with timber from sustainable sources in Scotland and positioned above ground to ensure that tree roots and groundwater go undisturbed. Water is filtered from the burn nearby. The walls are insulated with recycled paper and sheep’s wool. And the boiler for heating and hot water burns woodchips that are sourced locally. In addition, among the range of interactive displays at the centre include those that ask visitors to help to solve some of the conservation issues faced by the National Trust for Scotland. A visit to the centre will tell you the complete and fascinating story of Glencoe, with sections on ecology, geology and its wider history. The displays bring you the experience of what it feels like to actually climb on ice and exhibits show Glen Coe, the mountains surrounding it and the view from the Glencoe Lookout Station. Originally built in the 1970s, this is a multi-award winning centre, for good reason. Glencoe is a remarkable place; extremely popular and with a range of activities and displays that will make it a place of interest for all the family. ”

“Brilliant information, have used several of the pubs and visited many of the properties. Some that
I didn’t
know were so close to home. Keep up the good work.”
Steve, UK
“Thanks very much for your help. Gone out and got a 1Gb card and all is now loaded. One way of rating a company is the back up support and you score 10/10 .”
Graham, London
“The content is good and the level of detail about right, enough to pique your interest but not so much
that you feel you're attending a lecture.”
Sam, Manchester
“I've used the programme a few times now on my travels and it does add a good deal of value
to a journey so I'm very happy with my purchase.”
John, UK
“The Audio commentary on the Garmin was well narrated and definitely had the feel of the audio
guides you get when you are walking around the landmarks themselves”.
Linda, New Jersey
“Finding atmospheric pubs with good food is always a challenge when you don't know the area and
can be stressful when you're hungry and tired!!”
David, Essex
“Road Tour has found us some great pubs which have made our journeys all the more enjoyable. Every place
it's suggested has been a winner.”
Nikki, Cambridgeshire'
“The heritage commentary is really informative and entertaining – it’s great to discover
the background to the brown tourist signs we normally whizz by on the motorway.”
Michael, Reading
“This is the perfect thing for history buffs - RoadTour really brings boring car journeys to life.”
Guy,
London
“It doesn't intrude on the journey it complements it with just enough information if you
are not stopping at the attraction.”
Robin, Scotland
