These stunning crag faces really evoke the old highland clan days, when tribe would clash against tribe with unrelenting but honor-bound sword to sword combat for local supremacy. It was in this very location that the famous sword battle from the feature film Highlander was shot.
6. Sron na Creise, Glen Etive
This ‘narrow point’ (the name of Sron na Creise in English) reaches up to 1100 meters, and is frequently caked in fairytale snow. This location, as befits so much of glorious Scotland, manages to convey isolation and remoteness without transmitting any sense of loneliness.
7. The Sanctuary, Skye
These wonderfully shaped pinnacles of rock include the renowned Old Man of Storr. They are remains of ancient gyrolite landslips and were recently immortalized in the 2012 blockbuster Prometheus.
8. Suilven
The two neighboring sandstone mountains Stac Pollaidh and Suilven stand like colossuses in a deserted but somehow romantic part of Northern Scotland. From Stac Pollaidh we can see Suilven dominating this harsh but blessed place on Earth.
