Scotland on Film.
With its stunning landscape and breathtaking choice of architecture and castles, Scotland is the real star of the big screen. Scotland looks beautiful on screen but the reality is even better when you are there! Scotland's spectacular landscape has made it popular over the years with many filmmakers, with movies like Chariots of Fire, Highlander, Local Hero, Hamlet and Greystoke all being made on location in Scotland.

Moreover, Hollywood blockbusters such as Braveheart, Rob Roy, Mrs Brown, Loch Ness and Harry Potter have demonstrated Scotland's credentials for great locations. If there had been an Academy Award for Best Location it would undoubtedly have gone to Scotland!
