Named after a valley in Argyleshire by Scottish settlers during the late 1800s, Glencoe has a proud railway history with the first train arriving on 4 September 1889. General French was periodically stationed here during the Anglo-Boer War, and Boer President Paul Kruger twice stayed overnight during the Siege of Ladysmith. The house of Carl Landman - second in command at the Battle of Blood River can - be found on a farm close to town.
