Glenfinnan, by the Highlanders memorial
It was hard for me to believe how accesible scenes like this were during our travels around Scotland. This looks like an image from a calendar, yet I stood right there by the banks of that lake and shot the image myself! Look in the darker parts of the water and see how the water was crystal clear. View it large!
This is the spot where they have placed the memorial to the Highlanders who joined forces with bonnie Prince Charlie, and were eventually defeated at the battle of Culloden (if I have my history right!).
Anyway, from this point if you turn around 180 degrees and look the opposite direction you will see the viaduct where the Harry Potter movie was filmed! We were going to ride the train that travels along this way (the Road to the Isles), and over the viaduct, but decided to drive our rental instead so that we could stop when we wanted and take pictures, like this one! :o)
