Lady McBeth:

If you draw a line west from Aberfeldy, you run right into Glencoe, 
where they filmed most of the scenery for POA . . . I wonder if 
someone didn't have some insight into where Hogwarts really is!

The history of Glencoe would certainly fit in with Hogwarts History?  
Why? Well until the 15th century the title Lord of the Isles was held 
by the MacDonalds of Glencoe.  Wouldn't it make sense for the rulers 
during what is called "the dark ages" by later Christians to have 
been witches and wizards?  Followed immediately by "the burning 
times" or a persecution of former rulers?  I know this is a stretch, 
but it felt like a good one.  Additionally there's probably some 
falling down ramshakle castle or two, or what would like one to the 
muggle observer!
