This is what it's really like to walk up to one of Scotland's best off-the-beaten-track destinations. Join us as we hike from the car park at The Three Sisters of Glencoe to the Lost Valley (or Hidden Valley), tucked away amongst the stunning peaks in the Highlands of Scotland, where we set up camp for the night. This place is steeped in myth and legend, but what's it like to hike here on a beautiful weekend in the middle of summer?

We went up on the 12th and back down again on the 13th of August 2022.

DISCLAIMER: Don't underestimate any mountain walk in Scotland - we had calm summer weather, but this can be a different beast in winter, when it's wet, or in limited visibility. Please be safe!

There's a wee birthday surprise for me at the end, thanks Alicja :D

Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eyeopener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

    This is the most frustrating thing about going through cancer and having bad legs, I pass that place alot but just can't get out and go for a walk due to the damage chemotherapy has done to me ☹ but with videos like this it makes me feel like I've seen it all, thank you both so much 👍

    A lucky lord you are to have such a fun, talented and thoughtful lady.

    My wife and I were there 30 years ago from the US; the next day we drove down into Glen Etive; beautiful memories!
  • Firstly: congratulations on your birhday your Lordship. Secondly: what a magnificent hike into the hidden valley. Thanks for sharing Steve and Alicja
  • Beautiful hike !!! Alicja amazing, you are so fortunate to have a companion that will go on all your adventures with you no matter how difficult they are! My wife and I used to do that, but poor health has sidelined her, great memories though. Really enjoyed the hike!!! Lord Stephen Marsh, has a good ring to it!
  • Some years ago me and the missus were driving up Glencoe and me missus saw a sign pointing to the Hidden Valley. She said it cant be hidden very well if it signposted!!!
  • First off, belated happy birthday, Lord Stephen! Secondly, that scene at 1:49 when we first see the valley with Buachaille Etive Mòr in all is grandeur never fails to give my heart a lift. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. What fun! Cheers and ATB to you both!
  • Lord Steve,thank you so much for taking us all on another adventure to places beyond where most of us can't or won't ever be able to see.A stunning part of beautiful Glencoe. Also a belated birthday wish and what a smashing present from her ladyship. As always Steve and Alijcia take care and stay safe.

    Another fantastic video Lord Stephen. Such a beautiful country.

    Aaaawwweeeeee. That was lovely! Happy birthday Lord Steve (what a beautiful gift) I think that was my absolute favourite site yet! My Scottish girlfriend has a horror childhood story there that features the midges, so I was wondering how that was going to play out! Hope that you aren’t still scratching! Thankyou both once again. It’s been a perfect finish to a Saturday night Australian time! See you next year…preferably without the bugs 🐜
  • Thank you for taking me along on a hike that Ii couldn't do myself. I've driven through Glencoe and found it a bit depressing but maybe that was the weather! So thanks Steve, sorry, My Lord!
  • @paulm.d3003

    I made the same trek when I was young, 50 years ago, and it's great to see it again.
  • @gordon7470

  • @lynetteetter8097
    The opening with that music and the scenery...wow. I got goose bumps.
  • @psmirage8584
    I just loved the Coat of Arms Alicja made for you. What a special gift. Gorgeous video, by the way. The scenery is incredible.
  • If anyone deserves the titles of Lord and Lady it’s you too. You make me smile with the things you get up to and the sincere enjoyment you exhibit in all your videos. Keep ‘em coming and thanks again.
  • Egads! those bugs looked bad, but the surroundings are stunning. Happy belated Birthday old chap.

    This is so special to me because I am a McDonald from Glen Urquhart. I visited Glencoe by bus in 01/1957 and bus driver told the story of Glencoe massacre and at the end of story he said if there are any Campbells on board I’m not apologizing and that was so many years before! Barnie
