Did it feature in Skyfall?
Right spy, wrong film...
Kingsman?
Yep Harry, and I didn't even realise until I saw it (again) in the sequel
Eilean Donan was in "The World is not Enough" as well wasn't it?
Right spy, wrong film indeed!
.. and Entrapment. mmm, CZ-J. anyway 🙂

Correct!
I was out for a morning run and found this place by accident. It's a famous for video with 2.7billion views on YouTube...

hm, @scotroutes, route between locations sounds a great plan. Reckon no.1 film - if measured by how often can watch it.
Didn't know about Loch Tarff. Always assumed was one of the wee lochs along the Glenfinnan road.

Yeah, so did I.
So a route should really take in Loch Tarff as well. Excellent.
That's an option, though it's not the most direct and it means doing that bloody hill. I did think about including Ferness too but that not only adds a few miles, it also takes me away from a home mid-way stop. If I decide to do it over 3 days, it might be back in.
I think Ferness is mandatory. Including the crossroads of "use the Force, Luke"..
MBR123, this video clip?
@kcal - going via Loch Tarff and Ferness is actually the same distance (312km). That's assuming liberal use of NCN78 and NCN1 and avoiding the major roads. Over 3 days, that would split evenly around Fort Augustus and Forres.
"use the force Luke??"
Back road to/from Elgin/Forres crosses the A940 at Ferness. A940 has almost zero traffic on it, especially late / early. It ought to be possible to just approach the crossroads and cross without slowing. Never been brave/foolish enough though.
Another, from the front of my old house.

Not only have a number of quite well-known films been shot here, but a number of tv programmes as well.
@matt_outandabout I was so intrigued by your picture above I felt the need to Google research it and came up with the Alan Walker video Faded as the one you must be referring too. The place in your picture appears twice, each time from a different angle. Your view last about half a second, blink and you miss it! Wiki would suggest the video was filmed in Estonia. You did well to recognize the place from the very brief exposure it gets on that youtube video.
