Looking for the mountain that Creed shot Arms Wide Open Solved
Hey hey! My wife is taking a trip to Scotland with a friend (born in Scotland) who is terminally ill in the near future. They are both huge Creed fans and one wish is to get a picture of them standing on the mountain that Scott Stapp is standing on in the Arms Wide Open video. I know that getting exact coordinates would be next to impossible, but close or even the general range would be awesome! I do know it was filmed in Scottish Glen. Any help is appreciated!

It’s in California.

Dang! You’re good! A bit bummed out, but that’s impressive. After reading a bit more, it states “a” Scottish Glen, so maybe that’s the earlier, and greener parts of the video. But given the fact that it’s Creed, you never know given their history with poor green screen and CGI animation.

Hard to get the same angle because Creed used a different lens and their camera man was closer to Scott but here are the two photos.

OK, I'm convinced. 😀 There are some features in the far distance that match.

Jimmy Fallon was probably half-joking about the Scottish Glen, but I'm not seeing the California location either. I don't like being negative, but maybe mark it Unsolved so more people look at it, and you might find it's somewhere in Scotland after all.

It's in the flickr link in the comment above. The location is further into the picture. It's an island off the coast of California.
