As a land full of culture and some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, it’s not surprising that many spots in Scotland have featured in well-known movies.
Scotland is a fabulous source of inspiration for scouts and film-makers around the globe, who seek to tell stories that immerse viewers in epic quests with unforgettable backdrops.
From tales of love and romance, to immense battles and historical literature, Scotland has played an important role in big screen productions.
