I'm in the part of south-west Scotland known as Galloway, which is the western part of Dumfries and Galloway region: http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/councils/region7.html I moved into this area back in the late summer of 1972 when the first Wicker Man was being filmed. Most of the main locations were around here, though some of it was filmed in Plockton in the north-west Highlands: http://www.wicker-man.com/locations.php I always thought "The Wicker Man" was quite absurd, but it seems to have become what is known as "a cult film". I wouldn't mind watching it again just to see if it's quite as silly as I thought it was. However, there seems to be general agreement that the 2006 version was a real stinker. Norman Tulloch
