Glen Etive – Roadside Viewpoints
About This Harry Potter Filming Location
Loch Etive is a long, narrow sea loch snaking for more than 30 miles (18 km) through the dramatic Glen Etive in Argyll and Bute. The glen’s steep hills, waterfalls and pine forests make it a favourite with hikers, kayakers and wild campers. The northern end of the loch near Gualachulain is particularly scenic, with views down the winding waterway toward the mountains. Nearby attractions include Dunstaffnage Castle and the Bonawe Historic Iron Furnace. The area’s wildness and remoteness have preserved a sense of solitude perfect for cinematic adventures.
