Just watched this on [You Tube](http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hOSrKNVF2VI). I did a search and Wiki says it was recorded in Surrey, but does anyone know where the filming location was? It does remind me of Scotland.

Sorry. Just had a look around to see if I could find anything, but no luck. It does look like Scotland, or somewhere around Skye, but I can’t confirm it.
