description: Scotland has always been a standout when it comes to big-screen entertainment, whether it be vintage comedies like Whisky Galore! and Local Hero, cult classics like The Wicker Man and Highlander, or box-office phenomena like Braveheart and Trainspotting. Now, for the first time, The Pocket Scottish Movie Book gathers all the facts, figures, and anecdotes in a succinct A-Z guide. It profiles leading Scottish actors—including Sean Connery, Ewan MacGregor, and Robert Carlisle—and details the film industry’s regular use of Scottish locations, history, and literature. Packed with intriguing information, little-known facts, and striking color photos, this is an outstanding reference for Scots, film buffs, and anyone traveling to Scotland. Film journalist Brian Pendreigh is the author of The Legend of the Planet of the Apes, On Location, and The Scot Pack.
