I seem to remember something in a news article about Rowling buying 
her home in Scotland that she chose an area near where Hogwarts 
would really be located. That may have been simply meant "Scotland," 
but as I recall it was more specific than that. I can't find the 
article, however. I know that her home is near Aberfeldy, so maybe 
you can use that. I don't have my atlas handy and the cat is sitting 
on my lap so I'm not going to go get it, but if that's also near 
Dufftown, you may be onto something...
