Guiseley is situated in a hanging valley between Airedale and Wharfedale. A hanging valley is a tributary valley that is higher than the main valley.

Another example in Great Britain is Glen Coe. It's a valley of glacial origins, that cuts though volcanic rocks in the Highlands of Scotland. The main settlement is the village of Glencoe located at the foot of the glen.

Dunoon in Argyll and Bute was also the scene of a 17th century Scottish clan massacre.

In my long-gone folk-singing days, I sang the ballad of the Glencoe massacre.

One of the seemingly numerous ladies in Robert Burns's life, was Mary Campbell -- called by the bard, "Highland Mary" -- who was born in Dunoon (there is a statue of said personage -- her, not him -- in a prominent position in the town). Rabbie encountered, and celebrated in verse, another lass who took his fancy, near Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire.
