If you wish to visit some of the locations where the movie was filmed, Timberbush Tours offer tours that take in these particular sights: The film is a real visual treat for Scottish Highland scenery. Loch Shiel is used for filming later on in the movie though, as well as Glencoe, Rannoch Moor and many others. This was not accurate though as these scenes were filmed at Eilean Donan Castle on the shore of Loch Duich. The character of Connor is based in the village of Glenfinnan, on the shore of Loch Shiel which is what we see at the beginning of the film. Large parts of the movie were set and filmed in Scotland, with some wonderful scenic shots of the Highlands. In order to defeat his nemeses, he is trained by another immortal an Egyptian named Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez who just happens to be played by famous Scot, Sean Connery (yes he keeps his usual unmistakable accent for the part). The film places Connor in many noteworthy eras of history, whilst focusing on ‘modern times’ with his battle against his nemeses, ‘the Kurgan’. The film chronicles the life of Connor McLeod, of the Clan MacLeod, who happens to be an immortal, from his life in the Scottish Highlands in 16th century to 1980’s New York where he is now based. Despite the complexing casting decisions Sean Connery playing an Egyptian, a Frenchman playing a Scot, iffy special effects and clichés a plenty, the film is just simply awesome and probably one of Scotland’s most internationally well-known films. Released in 1986 where it didn’t do too well in the cinema, the film would find its audience on home video which led to the exhaustive franchise that we have today.
