In addition, the spectacular viaduct in Glenfinnan on the railway line from Fort William to Mallaig also featured in the series of films. And if you’re heading that way, then we can point you in the direction of the final resting place of Dumbledore on the small wooded island in Loch Eilt.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail used the Glencoe area in some of its iconic scenes.  The Bridge of Death was filmed just up the road in the Glen and the ‘Castle of Aaargh’, the island castle where the Grail supposedly resides is in fact the nearby Castle Stalker.
