Hagrid's Hut

Having dragged my glamorous assistant around to a multitude of places on our tour of Scotland, I thought it was time to surprise her with a trip to something she actually might be interested in.

Having pulled up to Clachaig Inn in Glencoe, she was extremely excited as she thought this surprise was a glass of wine, however it was only going to get better. We were going to find Hagrid's Hut.

For those of you who haven't a clue, Hagrid is from the Harry Potter movies and we were off to find the filming location for where Hagrid's Hut was built. My glamorous assistant is a big Harry Potter fan!

The location was just a short 5 minute walk from the parking with only a little incline to tackle.

To give you a better idea of what you are looking at, here is a picture from scotfilm.org showing the hut in-situ.

The set was located overlooking the Torren Lochan next to Signal Rock forest complete with pumpkin patch, a smoking chimney and the Bridge to Nowhere.

We even found a mark of the Deathly Hallows etched into a nearby tree!

It's an absolutely beautiful area, even if you're not a fan of the movies.

And yep, she did get a wine afterwards too. I'm a good person!
