Highlander Filming Locations in Scotland & New York City
POSTED ON 22/01/2021 BY REBECCA
I love writing about filming locations, especially in Scotland, but hadn’t watched Highlander yet. But after I googled, “where was Highlander filmed?” I learned some of the Highlander filming locations in Scotland are in the Isle of Skye! And I love the Isle of Skye, so here we are.
Highlander (1986) begins in 1518 when Connor MacLeod is born in the Scottish Highlands. He is an immortal and meets another immortal who teaches him how to fight and the way of life for immortal beings. Highlander takes place in Scotland and New York City, spanning several eras and cultures.
Highlander is a really entertaining, fantasy movie. The tagline, “There can be only one”, is (somewhat) iconic and it’s spawned a massive cult franchise. But we’re only talking about the first, and best, Highlander movie today. For me, there can be only one Highlander film. Let’s also not confuse this film with the hugely popular Outlander TV show, either.
There are some cracking Highlander locations in Scotland as well as New York City and a few dotted elsewhere. And if you’ve visited the Highlands, you may recognise many of these places. |
