Highlight • Settlement

Dornie is a small former fishing village in the Lochalsh area of the Scottish Highlands. Set close to the water, it is near the meeting point of Loch Duich, Loch Alsh and Loch Long.

Tip by

1.58 km

The 1986 film "Highlander" with Christopher Lambert made Eilean Donan world famous with his bridge. Actually the scene that takes place there is only very short.
The MacLeod clan sets out for war and rides across the stone bridge, with the walls of the castle rising in the background.
But also James Bond (the world is not enough) and unfortunately only a few seconds and even Bollywood were active here.
