Description
The story behind the Glencoe Lochan is a romantic tale. A gentleman by the name of Donald Alexander Smith who was born in the ancient Royal Burgh of Forres in the North East of Scotland, emigrated to Canada in 1888. While in Canada he became a successful wealthy man and later became the governor of the Hudson Bay company, high commissioner for Canada and eventually went on to become Lord Strathcona. He acquired the Glencoe Estate and in 1895 had Glencoe House built for himself and his wife Isabela, who was born in Canada and had native American grand parents. In order to make sure his wife didn't miss her homeland he created the Glencoe Lochan in its beautiful mountain surroundings just for her.
