Finding the cache: Just before (or just after, if travelling towards Skye) the castle is a turning signposted Dornie. Take this road, and watch for a small lane on the right, signposted 'Carr Brae View Point'. A little way up this road is a good place to park (just 500ft/150m from the cache), with a nice view of the castle. Walk a little way up the road, beyond the first telegraph pole, and look for a silver gate on your left. This gives access to a little-used path that runs up the hill behind the road. This is steep and can be boggy, so wear boots.
22.5.18 update: Despite being a challenging cache to reach -I feel for the mudphobics - this now has 339 Favorite Points and is maintaining that 37%; really appreciated folks. Thanks for looking after the box and helping to keep it dry (it is Scotland, after all). I hear there's a reboot of the film coming. I wonder if they'll be back to film here..?
22.5.17 update: Oh wow, over 300 Favorite Points! Thanks so much everyone. This cache has climbed to 37% - which is amazing - and now seems to be Scotland's 5th most Fav'd cache after Britain's highest Geocache (459/54%), Arthur's Seat Earthcache (362/34%), Wolfing it in the West End (345/21%), and St. Andrew Square (318/14%). Woop!
14.5.15 update: Thank you for all the Favorite Points! It's really appreciated and I'm very glad you've enjoyed this special location.
