 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 NB As the River Coe is between the track and the road it is not possible to park at the car parks further down the glen which are closer to the Study. |
| There is also a small parking area next to the Study. Less than a mile down the glen from the car park mentioned above you will pass a waterfall on the left with a small parking area next to it. Just after this there is a parking area on the right surrounded by high rocky sides. Pull in here and a wet and stony path leads up to The Study and the locations for the many movies filmed there. |
| At the last time of visiting this parking area had piles of broken glass scattered around. The glass being from smashed car windows. Unfortunately Glen Coe is sometimes prone to petty theft from vehicles and so this parking area is not recommended as it is almost hidden from passing traffic. |
| 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. |
