The Banshee of the Rannoch Moor (Rannoch Moor Short Stories Book 1)
Stunningly beautiful, with its dramatic cliff faces and steep slopes, Glencoe is infamous as the site of the Glencoe massacre in Following orders from King William, Scottish soldiers, under the leadership of Captain Robert Campbell, slaughtered 38 men, women and children of the Macdonald clan.
THE BANSHEE OF THE RANNOCH MOOR
This was especially shocking as the soldiers had been living with the people of Glencoe for 2 weeks and killed them in their own homes. Noone was ever punished for this crime, as the King himself had signed the order, but because it was murder under trust, the Highlands would never be the same again.

At 23 miles long and over ft deep it's the largest loch by volume in Scotland and contains more water than every lake in England and Wales combined!
Of course, the loch is best known for the legendary sightings of the Loch Ness Monster "Nessie".
