Skyfall Filming Locations in Scotland

[Ecurie Ecosse]

Hi Guys

Does anyone know exactly where the spot is where Bond and M stop off in the DB5 for a chat on their way up through Scotland? I have seen reference to Glen Coe and Glen Etive on the web

I was fancying going for a drive there and getting some pics of the car.

There is a shot of Buachaille Etive Mor in one of the scenes so A82 I think but not sure if
you'll get to fully replicate any of the shots from movie. The house "Skyfall" I believe
was shot at some army range in England and where the car is sitting on the shots you posted
looks like it could be on the side road off the main road round about the Kingshouse hotel maybe.

Or it could be on a soundstage in Shepperton..

Edit - Actually that could be the road in to the Clachaig but with the Clachaig area CGI'd out
and the Buachaille/ White Corries area pasted in..... maybe.

It's on the road to Glen Etive, just off the A82. I'll find a link in a mo....

It's roughly here - not exactly there, but somewhere along that road.

i agree with rollcage for what its worth. The Fleming family owned/own an estate in glen etive. if i remember correctly there is a monument to peter fleming somewhere near there whom ian based bond on, or i could be talking through 40yrs of alcohol abuse.

Dalness - clearly the inspiration for Skyfall! Just a little way along that same road - here

i knew mymind wasnt addled! dont know how to do links but fleming monument is near ba bridge.
i was chased of the estate in the 80's by a gamie with two large dogs and an even larger gun. i swear i ran faster than a ferrari!

[Rollcage]

I'll hqve to look out for that when I'm back there next year, cheers.

[marcus1875]

again from memory, if you park at ba bridge on the a82 and follow the path to ba cottage at the foot of the black mount on the west highland way, the momument was about there.

I think this is the location of the 2nd shot - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=glencoe&hl=en...

Yeah, spring or summer run up that way sounds good.

Just thinking that, has anyone been up the Glen Etive road recently.... is it "hoonable"?

Great road but nothing like as fast and flowing as The Glen Coe road!

It does make a great photo location though....

Agreed. The road down to Glen Etive is narrow and there is a real danger of grounding out heavily on some of the faster sections. There are also some nasty potholes on it!

Fantastic scenery more than makes up for that though, and the other A roads in the area are more than adequate.

That's it exactly. You can see the same moss-covered rock on the left nearer the bridge

PHer Tedswagon on here worked on the house in etive moor. Will get him to post what he knows...

Glen Etive is a beautiful part of the world, not been there for a long long time.

The google maps location is correct. Static shot was there, and the moving shot was the main A82 which had a very short closure to allow filming (30min closures I recall).
Had the most boring working day of my life doing cover that day.

[Rollcage]

Anybody notice that the film shows the static shots on the road to Glen Etive, then the panning shots along the A82, and then they arrive at Skyfall (Dalness), which is down the road to Glen Etive?
