Glencoe

Yesterday we made a one day trip to Glencoe. It's close to Fort Williams and just approximately 1,5 hours from Glasgow. If you saw the recent James Bond movie Skyfall you might recognize some of the locations as the road, the Highlands and the Glen were shown in the end of the movie. Also, in Glencoe village, you can visit a really recommendable exhibition about the Glen, the stories and the wildlife there. They even give some information and background info about the Glencoe massacre in 1692. Very good choice for a boring sunday afternoon ;) xx Heidi

Eastern holiday trip - part 2 - Kilmartin

Hi guys,

Next stop was Kilmartin.. A small but beautiful village, not really much to do.. 2.5 minutes drive and you already past it ;) However, what you may not know is that the castle in Kilmartin was the first choice to film James Bond's latest movie Skyfall. Such a waste that they used a fake castle now, because this one is beautiful.

Tip: If your visiting this castle, you first have to drive a really difficult road in the middle of nowhere, but don't worry it's the right address.. (remember: driving on the left side ;)) ALSO, if you want to let somebody pass... (hihi.. I forgot ;))

Our first stop - Well, basically last stop before we went on the Isle - was the Eilean Donan Castle. It is just a few minutes away from the bridge which leads to the Isle.
