The ruins of Connor MacLeod’s castle (Christopher Lambert), where he lived with Heather (Beatie Edney) after being exiled from his native village. The castle was destroyed during the fight between The Kurgan (Clancy Brown) and Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Sean Connery) – all in Russell Mulcahy’s “Highlander” (1986). In search of these locations, I visited with my family the area around The Meeting of Three Waters in the Scottish Highlands, near Glencoe in 2018. Unfortunately, the castle was built as a set piece solely for the purposes of that movie.

Remember this iconic scene from The Blues Brothers(1980)? A little trivia about this scene: * It featured a massive pileup of police cars, setting a record at the time for the most cars crashed in a single film. * The filmmakers used over 60 old police cars purchased for $400 each specifically for the chase and crash scenes. * A special pipe ramp technology, developed in Australia and never before used in a major motion picture, was installed in the street to help flip cars during the crash.
