Rothiemurchus and nearby Glenmore would have to be high on the list. Loads of paths and tracks for walking out into the wide and wild open spaces, and for much of the year barely another soul about!

The old Stewartry of Kirkcudbright is another lovely and sparsely populated area at the other end of the country.

Sandwood Bay is lovely but getting busy these days , Kervaig Bay on the walk north to Cape Wrath is smaller but just as lovely and loads quieter. Apart from Sea Eagles place always deserted until I and my clients (I am a guide) blunder in.

Good call, there are some great places to visit around the Loch Tay area.

Give us a shout next time in the area, we could maybe arrange a "mystery tour" for you guys.

I suggested Iona on the other thread. It's really not like anywhere else on earth, never mind Scotland.

Even setting the almost mystical historical aspects of the island aside, it's just one of those places you'll never forget.

I recall watching a very well known 'celebrity' struggling to load a SWB Diesel onto planks across the early 80's ferry, only to get across and discover there was nowhere to drive to.

If i go to the top of the hill we live on the view is breathtaking. We can see the sea, the mountains of braemar.

It was closeish to Dumfries and Galloway, it was a huge river with gorgeous scenary either side that you could see for miles..... oh and I got eaten alive by midgies.

Now I know it isn't much to go on as there is lots of gorgeous scenery up there, but does anyone know where I am talking about?

Wallace was dead by Bannockburn (1314). He was executed in London nine years before that.

It might be the Robert The Bruce connection to Greyfriars Kirk in Dumfries where he's alleged to have murdered John (the Red) Comyn in 1306.

His family and the Bruce family were competitors for the Scottish Crown. Comyn's claim was probably stronger which is why Bruce took such drastic action. He's said to have regretted in it later life.

I don't, I'm afraid. It's one of the tales passed down in the Scots oral tradition (we were a wee bit later than the English in getting around to writing stuff down).

I'm not even sure we know for a fact that the tale is true.

There's a bit of BBC/ Neil Oliver film at http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/history/wars_of_independence/bruce_kills_comyn_at_greyfriars_church_dumfries/ which may ring a few bells for you.

sorry but no thats not correct. braveheart doesnt suggest wallace was at bannockburn at all - they just incorrectly depict the battle of stirling bridge. the movie ends with the bruce at bannockburn, ready to fight. whilst some of the movie is factually incorrect a lot of it isnt so i think hollywood did not too bad a job, given they make movies for money

anyway back to the question - wallace was around the dumfries and galloway area when in hiding so it could still have been a place that had links to him as opposed to bruce. bad news is i dont know where though lol

I can do no more than quote Colin MacArthur, the guy who wrote Brigadoon, Braveheart and the Scots: Distortions

of Scotland in Hollywood Cinema.

He calls Braveheart "a fuckin' atrocious film" and suggests that a worrying aspect of the film is its appeal to "neo-fascist groups and the attendant psyche."

Do you mean Kidnapped? I don't think I've seen it. The Eagle was filmed in Ulapool, that well-known haunt of the Romans. Oh an England and Eire

Neil Marshall's (the director) Scottish himself. I love how his film after that, Doomsday (also flimed in Scotland, including a post-apocolyptic Glasgow... nothing new there!) got good reviews from some Scottish press and bad reviews from English press. It's all about a powerful virus outbreak that has the English rebuild the wall only to send a team in, years later, to find a cure as the Scots are still alive but gone all tribal... again, nothing new there!

In answer to the initial question - Glasgow. It's where Kit was born, it's where we met, had our first kiss, our first... erm well, there's a lot of memories there.

Love remote places. I like the emptiness of the highlands, i like the scottish borders and i like Skye. I do yearn for isolation at times.
