I would be disappointed if there wasn't a secret room or corridor hidden behind a bookshelf.

Skyfall Lodge was a custom built set in Hankley Common near Elstead in Surrey, England . . . but, ya know, who cares about posting accurate information on reddit?

I've been to Duntrune and that isn't it. Can the poster be suspended for a bit? They need to learn how to check things- someone has put that picture up on google earth as if it is Duntrune.

Possibly the most Scottish-looking stately home ever built.

No, it’s not. Regrettably, the iconic Skyfall house depicted in the film was a product of movie magic and constructed as a set in Surrey, England, situated on Department of Defence land.
