i've just watched the excellent film 'local hero' . i'd seen it before some 20 years ago and i remember how lovely the coast is . a group of us are holidaying in scotland next august - does anyone know exactly where the film was shot?

This is a great site for Scottish locations - a boon when i travelled there to visit the WickerMan sites:

I watched that too - it is certainly a lovely place and a good film too.

The village in the film is Pennan on the North east corner of Scotland. the village was recently hit with a mudslide during the extremely bad weather and are currently trying to get back to normal. The local pub which appears in the filmis up for sale but I think they are struggling to sell because of the mud slide. It is still well worth a visist as it is a beautiful place.
