About the area

Originally established as a military fort in 1655 by General Monk during the English Civil War, it was renamed Fort William in 1690 after William III. The town developed as a strategic Highland settlement and later became a centre for the whisky, timber, and aluminium industries. The Highlands have a complex history shaped by clan systems, the Jacobite uprisings of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden in 1746. The region transitioned from feudal Highland society to modern Scotland while maintaining strong cultural traditions.

Places to visit near Linnhe Lochside Holidays

Glen Etive Filming Location
Glen Etive
The single-track road through Glen Etive, off Glen Coe, is where James Bond drives Judi Dench's M north to his childhood home in the film's final act — one of the most striking Highland landscapes used in the Bond franchise.The Glen Etive Road is a spectacular, 12-mile single-track dead-end road in the Scottish Highlands. Branching off the A82 near the Glencoe Mountain Resort, it winds alongside the River Etive to the shores of Loch Etive.
Glenfinnan Viaduct Filming Location
Glenfinnan Viaduct
The Glenfinnan Viaduct is a striking 21-arch railway bridge set in the dramatic Highlands landscape near Fort William. It’s best known for its appearances in the Harry Potter films, where it features as the route taken by the Hogwarts Express, most famously in Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. The steam train seen crossing the viaduct is the real-life Jacobite Steam Train, which still runs this scenic West Highland line today between Fort William and Mallaig. Visitors can take in panoramic views of the viaduct from several walking trails and viewpoints around Glenfinnan, with the most popular spot being the hillside above the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre. The centre itself provides insight into the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and the surrounding history of the area. Just a short walk away stands the Glenfinnan Monument, a striking tribute to Bonnie Prince Charlie overlooking Loch Shiel, while the nearby Glenfinnan Station Museum explores the story of the West Highland Railway and the steam era that brought the line to fame. Together, these attractions make Glenfinnan one of Scotland’s most iconic film and heritage destinations.
Steall Falls Filming Location
Steall Falls
Scotland's second-highest waterfall, in Glen Nevis near Fort William, forms the dramatic backdrop to the Triwizard Tournament's first challenge in Goblet of Fire, and appears in the background of Quidditch scenes across five Harry Potter films.
Glencoe Filming Location
Glencoe
Glencoe is one of the most dramatic and historically significant glens in the Scottish Highlands, carved by ancient glaciers and dominated by towering peaks such as the famous Three Sisters. It is also known for the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, when members of the MacDonald clan were killed by government troops after a delayed oath of allegiance, an event that has left a lasting sense of atmosphere and history across the valley. The glen has been used extensively in film thanks to its raw, cinematic landscape. It appears in James Bond: Skyfall, where it represents Bond's ancestral Scottish home, and features in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, with sweeping Highland scenery used for travel shots around the Hogwarts journey. It also appeared in the original Highlander (1986), and Glencoe together with neighbouring Glen Nevis are confirmed filming locations for the 2026 Highlander reboot. One of the most notable filming locations in the area is Hagrid's Hut from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The exterior set was built in Glencoe on the lower slopes of Sgorr nam Fiannaidh near Clachaig Gully, overlooking Torran Lochan, using the dramatic mountainside to create the isolated, rugged feel of Hagrid's home within Hogwarts grounds. Today, visitors come to Glencoe for both scenery and history. The Glencoe Visitor Centre (National Trust for Scotland) explains the geology of the glen and the events of 1692, while walking routes such as the Lost Valley (Coire Gabhail) offer access to a hidden gorge once used by the MacDonald clan. The nearby A82 provides some of Scotland's most famous viewpoints, making Glencoe one of the most photographed and atmospheric landscapes in the country.
Loch Shiel Filming Location
Loch Shiel
Loch Shiel is a stunning freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands stretching for around 17 miles (28 km) from Glenfinnan south-west into the remote wilderness. Its northern tip lies at Glenfinnan, just a short walk from the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, making it easy to visit both landmarks together. The loch stood in for Hogwarts' Black Lake throughout the Harry Potter films, while its shores were also used in Highlander for the memorable training scenes between Connor MacLeod and Ramirez. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and unspoilt scenery, Loch Shiel is one of Scotland's most iconic film locations.
