Where in the World is HOGWARTS?

[Kenneth M. Kuller <ken.kuller@veritas.com>]

The map of Wizarding Brittain, 
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/atlas-b-britain.html , in the 
Harry Potter Lexicon, http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/ indicates 
a position in the vicinity of sites 3 and 4.

Key clues to support Hogwarts castle being located in this general 
area are as follows:
* It is is eight to nine hours north of London by train.
* You cannot go more than five hours by train from London 
  in a consistant direction without going into Scotland.
* Haggis was served at Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday Party;
  that is a Scottish dish made of calf or sheep offal.

* The latitude and longitude & sunset times on Sept 1 and on 
  June 6 (big events in PoA) also place Hogwarts castle in 
  Scotland, a bit north of Edinburgh.
* The Hogwarts Express tour went to Edinburgh, and then on to 
  Perth. It did not go as far as Aberdeen.

Thank you, Steve!  Your detective work of identifying secluded areas, 
near rivers and lakes, with both nearby roads and rail lines, is 
commendable.  That these guesses are supported by other facts is all 
the more impressive.
