Scotland is a magical destination for several reasons, one being that you can find many Harry Potter locations and inspirations here. According to HP lore, Hogwarts is located in Scotland and thus it is not surprising that a number of exterior scenes for the movies were shot here. Some of the most iconic are the Hogwarts Express train scenes and the location of Hagrid’s hut. Lots of scenes involving lakes were also filmed in Scotland with several Scottish lochs appearing across the eight movies.
