:''This article refers to the village: for the glen itself, see Glen Coe.'' Glencoe or Glencoe Village (Gaelic: ''A’ Chàrnaich''〔(Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba - A82 place-name list )〕) is the main settlement in Glen Coe in the Lochaber area of the Scottish Highlands. It lies at the north-west end of the glen, on the southern bank of the River Coe where it enters Loch Leven (a salt-water loch off Loch Linnhe). The village falls within the Ross, Skye and Lochaber part of the Highland council area for local government purposes. It is part of the registration county of Argyll and the lieutenancy area of Inverness for ceremonial functions. The use of the term 'Glencoe Village' is a modern one, to differentiate the settlement from the glen itself. ==History== The village is on the site of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, in which 38 members of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed by forces acting on behalf of the government of King William III following the Glorious Revolution. The village occupies an area of the glen〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Extract from Scottish Natural Heritage Commissioned Report No.374 ) See paragraph beginning “Glen Coe’s splendour is not diminished as it falls to sea level and meets Loch Leven”. The glen extends to Loch Leven, thereby encompassing Glencoe village.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1911 Encyclopedia Britannica Article "GLENCOE" ) "Beginning at the north-eastern base of Buchaille Etive, it (glen ) takes a gentle north-westerly trend for 10 m. to its mouth on Loch Leven, a salt-water arm of Loch Linnhe.", again encompassing Glencoe village.〕 known as Carnoch. Native Gaelic speakers who belong to the area always refer to the village as A'Charnaich, meaning "the place of cairns".〔Tron Bhogha-Froise - Sgeulachdan is Bardachd, Alasdair MacAonghais, Canan, Sabhal Mor Ostaig, An Teanga, Sleite, An t-Eilean Sgitheanach, (1999).〕 Even today there is Upper Carnoch and Lower Carnoch. A small hospital - currently empty - with emergency services at Fort William 16 miles away, lies at the southern end of the village just over an arched stone bridge. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glencoe, Highland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
