 Along with Eilean Donan Castle this location appears in many of the movies filmed in Scotland. Scenes from Being Human, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Highlander, Highlander: Endgame, Kidnapped (1960), The Master of Ballantrae, Rob Roy and The 39 Steps were all filmed here a few feet (although many years) apart. Close to the Study are locations from Complicity and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. |
| The Study is a fine viewpoint looking towards the mountains known as The Three Sisters. The recommended route to it below is the longest but has the best views of the surrounding mountains and gives a chance to get the feel of the glen away from the traffic and noise of the main road. |

| Travelling down Glen Coe from the east heading towards Glencoe village, pass by the locations for Braveheart and Highlander at Buchaille Etive Mor and the Highlander location at Buchaille Etive Beag. |
 After another mile or two you will see a large 40 mph speed restriction sign for lorries over 7.5 tons. Shortly after this there is a car park on the right of the road just after a gate. Park here and go back up the road about 40 or 50 yards to the gate where the old military road, now just a track, crosses the main A82. Alternatively you can cross the stream near the car park and cut across some boggy ground to the track. Then just follow the track for around half a mile until you reach the Study. On the way you will pass by locations from Kidnapped (1960) and The 39 Steps. |
| Closer parking is available at the largish new carpark just before the waterfalls and a far smaller one on the bridge overlooking the waterfalls (see map above). Both involve to varying degrees walking along the busy main road to get to the now blocked off car park at the foot of The Study. From there it is a short walk up to the viewpoint. |
| The Study, like most of Glen Coe is in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. The name is thought to be based on the Gaelic name for a flat topped rock Innean a Cheathaich or Anvil of the Mist. |
