Glac a' Chlaonain is a stunning corrie (glacial valley) located in Argyllshire, Scotland. Nestled within the rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands, this geological feature was carved out by glaciers during the last Ice Age.

Surrounded by towering mountains and lush greenery, Glac a' Chlaonain offers breathtaking views of its dramatic and picturesque surroundings. The valley is characterized by its U-shaped profile, steep sides, and a small lake at its base, which was formed by a glacier that once flowed through the area.

The corrie is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts looking to explore the unique geology and natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the valley floor, or challenge themselves with more strenuous hikes up the surrounding peaks for panoramic views of the area.

Overall, Glac a' Chlaonain is a must-see destination for those seeking to experience the rugged beauty and geological history of the Scottish Highlands.
