Correct

What else has been filmed at Frenchy castle?

Doune Castle – as above with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Outlander more recently.

And more…

I’d be cheating if I listed the rest as I’d have to have googled them.

😜

Watty. Yes Duxford

@thepurist that’ll be the ok LD Canadian military church in brookwood. Or, the deep south redneck church in Kingsman, among other things.

Oooo, I know the castle and have driven past it and seen it in films. Now what is it called without Googling. God I can’t get my head around Gaelic. On the road below Kintail IIRC. Eilien Doone or something like that.

Film? Got it in my head but can’t quite get it

You’re on the right track Welsh Farmer.

The castle in question was used in Highlander (as was my earlier location of the Cioch, Skye) but the film I’m thinking of here was more recent and suggested the castle was the Scottish HQ of MI6…

Eilean Donan.

I’d have gone for Highlander too!

Did it feature in Skyfall? Surprised no-one has posted up a pic of Glen Etive yet 🙂

Take the A9 C as then we’ll be able to track them on the traffic cameras…..

To Glen Coe….. Wtf

Or have they

Oldagepredator – one of the recent Star Wares films? cant remember which one….but I know they used Derwent Water as a battle scene

It was, answer a few pages back. You could also have had Swallows and Amazons (remake).

Did it feature in Skyfall?

Right spy, wrong film…

@thePurist

Kingsman?

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.

Falls of Dochart – 39 Steps?

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.
