Glen Coe (Gleann Comhann in Gaelic ) is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The name Glen Coe is often said to mean 'Glen of Weeping', perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, 'Gleann Comhann' does not translate as 'Glen of Weeping'. In fact the Glen is named for the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long prior to the 1692 incident. The name of the river itself is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named for a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation. It is also possible that the name stems from an individual personal name, Chomain or Comhan.

Information: Destilleriet som ligger vid foten av berget Ben Nevis byggdes 1825 av "Long John" MacDonald. En del olika MacDonalds har ägt destilleriet sedan dess och under 1920-talet såldes det till Seager Evans. Man har efter det även installerat så kallade Coffey Stills, för att göra Grain Whisky, tillsammans med Malt Whisky från de fyra Pot Stills. 1989 sålde dåvarande ägaren Whitbread Group destilleriet till japanska Nikka. Man numera även tagit bort Coffey pannan och man tillverkar bara Malt Whisky. Vattnet kommer floden Allt a' Mhuilinn, som kommer från två små sjöar - Coire Leis och Coire na' Ciste - 1000 meter upp på berget Ben Nevis.
