About This Harry Potter Filming Location
Loch Eilt is a small freshwater loch between the villages of Glenfinnan and Lochailort on the West Highland Line. Dotted with tree‑covered islets and backed by rugged hills, it epitomises the wild beauty of the Highlands. The loch is easily viewed from the road and train but has no developed visitor facilities. Its most famous island is Eilean na Moine, a tiny, pine‑clad hummock at the loch’s western end. This quiet spot became one of the series’ most poignant locations: the final resting place of Albus Dumbledore.
