The rest of the film was shot in Ireland, within a 30 mile radius of the city of Dublin, where most of the interiors were filmed at the famous Ardmore Studios. The interior of Mornay’s castle is another Scots location, filmed in Edinburgh Council Chamber, High Street, Edinburgh. Access to the ridges is gained either from the south at Kinlochleven, or from the north in Glen Nevis. If you fancy yourself as a fit hillwalker, you should be able to walk the ten peaks in a day. The design of the village houses was based on those of St Kilda, a tiny island off the Scottish coast, inhabited until the late 18th century, but now a tourist attraction.Īs Wallace’s legend grows after the killing of Mornay ( Alun Armstrong), his trek along the spectacular mountain path filmed on the Mamores, a group of ten mountains linked by a narrow ridge, stretching between Loch Leven itself and Glen Nevis.
The filming site is up the glen, past the car park, and below the road’s highest point. Although the set was dismantled after filming and the area returned to its former state, the Braveheart Car Park, constructed to service the location, has been retained. The village of ‘Lanark’, where the young William Wallace grows up, and falls in love with Murron ( Catherine McCormack), was constructed in the Glen Nevis Valley at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain peak in Britain.
The sweeping, mountainous landscapes couldn't be faked and really are the wild, rocky Highlands of Scotland, around Loch Leven and Glen Coe, filming in the some of the same areas as as Highlander.
