Glen Coe

About

An extinct supervolcano carved out by a glacier, Glen Coe is perhaps one of the most geologically distinctive areas in the Scottish Highlands. Filmmakers have been aware of Glen Coe’s distinctive beauty for decades, and fans might recognize the chasm once spanned by the Bridge of Death in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and three sets were built in Clachaig gully for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The site just across from the Clachaig Inn is the most notable as it was used in subsequent Harry Potter films. Even if you’re not a Potter-head, Glen Coe’s walking trails still bring visitors through some of Scotland’s most dramatic landscapes.
