Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench have been spotted in recent days filming scenes for the latest James Bond film “Skyfall” in the Glencoe area in Scotland. “Skyfall” is the third Bond film to shoot in Scotland with the Faslane naval base used in “The Spy Who Loved Me”, whilst Eilean Donan Castle was a secret MI6 base in “The World is Not Enough”. Land in the Glencoe/Glen Etive area has traditionally been owned by the Fleming family and it could be said that the filming is a nod to Ian Fleming and his Scottish roots.
The 10 mile road that was closed-off for filming in February 2012 is the single track Glen Etive road, where the stunt driver was spotted driving an Aston Martin DB5. With steep glens on either side, it is a dramatic twisty road, which will look spectacular given the James Bond treatment. Near the end of this road is the Traditional Shooting Lodge, which is available for comfortable self-catering for up to 10 adults. For movie fans, a stay at this Scottish Holiday House can now be linked with “Skyfall”, which is due out in October 2012. For more large holiday houses, check the Scotts Castle Holidays website today.
