Default ON THE TRAIL OF THE WICKER MAN (Robin Hardy)

One of my personal faves this,a true cult classic that is endlessly rewatchable....
Last year my tribe and I went on holiday to Dumfries and Galloway.
Once there,I took them to Kirkudbright,where quite a few scenes were filmed.
The girl in the tourist info was very helpful,and remembered it quite well,as she was only a pup when they were actually filming it.....
She showed me an original copy of a local newspaper from the time,which included photos of the key cast members,and photos of the harbour scene,which was filmed in Stranraer.
I managed to find a bookshop and picked up copies of THE CULT OF THE WICKER MAN and the novel of the film,which incidentally,contains scenes which were obviously never filmed.
I will be going back there this year and will try to go to the hilltop,where they actually filmed Woodward being sacraficed.....
What's everyone's opinion of this (in my opinion) arguably the best British horror film ever made.....
Meanwhile,take a look at these pics I took and see if you recognize any of the locations.....
