You don’t have to board Prometheus to visit the alien landscape in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic. The director filmed on the Isle of Sky in Scotland. I’m a travel buff along with being a geek. Lord of the Rings was part of my inspiration to visit New Zealand. 

 VisitScotland is hoping the film will inspire movie fans to experience the Isle of Sky according to the Daily Mail. Chairman Mike Cantlay said:  ‘As thousands of holidaymakers discover every year, Skye possesses an ethereal, out-of-this-world quality, so it is no surprise that Ridley Scott chose the island to shoot scenes for Prometheus.

  Here’s the trailer that shows the rocky landscape of the Isle of Sky seen in Prometheus.

  The new James Bond film Skyfall is filming in Scotland at Duntrune Castle. The 007 film title refers to Skyfall Lodge.
