on the film's 25th anniversary in 2008. This is one of my favorite films of all time! It was filmed in the tiny seaside village of Pennan, Scotland. I visited Pennan in 2015, and it had not changed at all! There was even laundry hanging on a line exactly like in the final scene in the film.

I enjoyed some Scotch at the Pennan Inn, but I don't think it was 42 years old!

Mark Kermode is a really interesting guy. His film blogs are pretty addictive.

Shouldn't this be posted on the Local Hero board?

Yeah, if I want to wait a year for a response. The last post there was one year ago. I'm nowhere near that patient.
