Which walking route was featured in this Dutch movie?

Hi all,

I just watched the Dutch movie 'All you need is love' - it is in cinema's right now in the Netherlands. In this movie, a tv presenter goes to the Scottish Highlands to escape his normal life.

In the Highlands, he is walking a certain route, waymarked with white poles with two blue stripes at the top. To visualize:

BLUE
WHITE

The poles were round and seemed about a meter high.

Does anyone have a clue which walkway this would be? A certain scene was shot in Inverarary - the tv presenter was staying in the 'George Hotel', and across the street was a building with 'Loch Fyne Whiskies' - I found it on Google Maps here: bit(dot)ly/2RjQSJq. Maybe the walkway is in the vicinity of this place?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there are any (official) long distance paths that run through Inverarary, and that type of waymarker sounds unfamiliar (usually you get the odd old-fashioned signpost or a little logo on gates and stiles), so it's possible that they made one up.

The Kintyre Way is marked with wooden posts painted turquoise, but that's as close as I know of.

There are plenty of websites detailing movie locations. If you're certain it was filmed in Scotland try Scotland the movie.com

could the top "band" have been an arrow? a lot of markers use a blue arrow to point of the path.

just checked and Barry Laird was the location manager for Scotland for that film, so why not contact him and ask him directly where the hiking parts were filmed?

Great suggestion, I'll send him an email. Thanks!

I would suggest that they were put there just for the movie. My wife and I once went to a small village where, in a movie a stone cross was seen on the village green. It wasn't there. The locals told us that it was fibreglass and only put out when filming took place.

The same happened with the famous red phone box in Local Hero. Eventually they had one installed...

Went to work when Chariots of fire was being filmed to find a students residence had become a hotel in Kent. It is now luxury flats

Do they look like this or similar? (apologies for the quality - lifted out of a larger image)

If so, they are the kind of poles used to mark the route of underground cabling/piping for hydro works. This is one of many in Glen Lochy (Dalmally).
