Created by VisitScotland and The Highland Council, The Highlands & Skye Movie Map highlights around 50 filming locations and features everything from Hollywood blockbusters to low-budget horror flicks.
Divided into different genres, the easy-to-follow guide capitalises on the popularity of set-jetting, where film fans visit real-life movie locations.
Among numerous other locations, the map features Eilean Donan Castle (as seen in Highlander and The World is Not Enough); Glen Coe (Skyfall and Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps); and Glenfinnan Viaduct, which plays a starring role in the Harry Potter movies.
The guide also features a dedicated section on Skye, the island which, in addition to providing the opening airport scene for Flash Gordon in 1980, has been a major draw to film-makers in recent years.
Jenni Steele, Film & Creative Industries Marketing Manager at VisitScotland, said: “This fantastic map is an indispensable guide to movies shot in the Highlands and on Skye...And with set-jetting an ever more popular pastime, I’m sure even more people will be inspired to come to the Highlands after learning of its rich silver screen legacy.”
