"Loch Henry," the second episode of the newly released sixth season of Black Mirror, juxtaposes the natural beauty of a Scottish lake with a dark true crime story. Starring Samuel Blenkin and Michala Herold, the episode takes place in the vicinity of Loch Henry, the home of documentary filmmaker Davis (Blenkin). Davis, his girlfriend Pia (Herold), and childhood friend Stuart (Daniel Portman) begin filming a documentary about the tragic event in an attempt to attract tourists back.

The episode is full of stunning views of the Scottish Highlands, so it is no wonder that the viewer wonders if Loch Henley is a real tourist destination (thus accomplishing the theme of the episode and the ethical ouroboros-like experience that Black Mirror's thought experiment has (I'm drawn in). For those tempted to check TripAdvisor, here's what we know about the filming location for this episode.

Loch Henley is not a real place, but the show highlights the natural beauty of Scotland. Brooker revealed the filming location in an interview with Tudum and said he was excited about the setting of this episode because it was the first episode of the franchise to be set in Scotland. As for the filming locations for "Loch Henry," 18 locations were filmed near several freshwater lakes (Scottish for lake) near Glasgow, where the filming took place.

"We shot an episode on the shores of Loch Long in a village called Allocher, near the Forest of Argyll," Samuel Blenkin, who plays Davies, told Tudham."

"We shot in a great location and worked in a visually stunning environment.

In addition to Loch Lomond and Loch Long, more remote locations were used, such as the river near Falloch Falls in Arochar. (However, Arochar and the nearby village of Inverarnan are an hour or two by train from Glasgow, so they are fairly easy to get to. According to the outlet, all of the filming locations for this episode were scouted by Liam Irving, the episode's location manager (who is from Scotland).

Brooker shared the initial inspiration for the show with Tudam, who said he got the idea based on his own experience with the tricky emotions of real-life tourism. He said, "The initial idea for this episode came to me while watching TV with my wife Connie.

"Like all true-crime documentaries, we had shot millions of drone shots of lakes and forests. Oddly enough, despite the horrific story, the stunning scenery was so beautiful that we googled where it was and wanted to go on vacation there," he added. The phenomenon of visiting a disturbing crime scene and becoming curious about the crime itself is a theme explored in this episode, which examines the fine line between educating oneself about real events and becoming complicit in the exploitation of the victim.

Although "Loch Henry" draws much of its inspiration from true crime, both the setting and the crime at the center of the episode are entirely fictional. However, the show does have some interesting real-life details. Davis' parents' favorite, Bergerac, was a real-life detective series that was wildly popular in the U.K. during the 1980s and early 1990s; it first aired on the BBC in October 1981, ran for nine seasons, and ended with a Christmas special in December 1991. John Nettles also stars as Jim Bergerac, a police officer and recovering alcoholic living on the island of Jersey off the coast of France. The show was known as a cozy program and featured safe crimes, just like mom's longtime favorite.
