The Scottish loch that stood in for Jupiter in 2001: A Space Odyssey

2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the most beloved and well-known films of all time, and if you haven't seen it you will likely have at least heard of it.

Directed by Stanley Kubrick, the seminal 1968 science-fiction epic is regarded as one of the best and most influential films ever made. Many famous directors, including Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan, have been inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey, while other films and television shows continue to reference it to this day.

With all that in mind, it may surprise you to learn that some of the scenes in the movie were in fact filmed in Scotland.
