### Extras

(See also this page for some of their memories arranged by scene and this page for lists that can added on to.)

teenage couples on the green (participants of the orgy. I count 8 couples) - students from the Bristol Old Vic theater school) (Beth Robens\*, at least two others names are known. One is confirmed but private. The other has not been confirmed.)

3 pregnant women who touch apple blossoms

fire dancers - from the Edinburgh School of Dance and Drama (Stuart Hopps). 12 seen in the film. Some also appear in the schoolroom scene but I don't know how many. Only 11 schoolgirls are in that scene (and Lesley Mackie and Fiona Kennedy are two of them). Linda McArthur is one.

in the bar of the Green Man - Mark Sunderland is in the grey sweater, the last one seated at the bar on the long side. Next to him is a friend, David Graham, who had not been selected as an extra but ended up in the film anyway. (Nuada #3) (The Call Sheet for the 11/15 shoot at the Ellangowan lists 3 young men and 3 young women as extra talent. One would be the friend of Mark Sunderland mentioned above.) See also some individuals listed below.

Half a dozen fishermen in the harbour - Plockton residents included Peter Geddes, Murdo Gillies (owner of Sannachan), Kenny John Mackenzie (nicknamed "Empa", owner of The Escampador,, the evil eye boat), Johnny “Bogles” MacRae and Tommy Ure (who was from Kyle).

Antler dancers\* - Six of them. (Amanda Sunderland's father\* and her two uncles played 3 of them - Mark, Harry and Ian\* Sunderland) (see interview) Paid £3.50 per day apparently! Don Boag is the man with the blue sweater and black glasses. Peter Carnes might be another. Harry Sunderland is wearing the light blue shirt. Ian Sunderland has the beard. Mark Sunderland is wearing the white shirt and is also in the Green Man wearing a grey turtleneck seated at the bar.

Tar Men - (3 or 4 depending on the script you look at) Only one seen in the movie in the courtyard. (4 tar men\*)

Sword dancers - (half a dozen sword dancers\*) (6 are seen in procession, one more added on the cliffs scene) - They came from the The King's Own Scottish Borderers Regimental Band, 1st. Battalion based at the Redford Infantry Barracks at Colinton in Edinburgh. The extra on the cliffs was probably not from there as he had a beard. One is Duncan Milburn. He is wearing a brown jumper and khaki blazer. Another is John Brotherston (the blond.) Ron Creasey too, in the green top. Ian Sunderland, who was an antler dancer, became a swordsman in some shots at the end too. Henry Smith has red hair and is wearing a red top.

18\* schoolboys on the green round the Maypole. (See also the wiki page for this.) All were from the Douglas Ewart High School, Newton Stewart (Class 1c, 1d and 2d). Included Steve McHarg (age 14), Michael Conway, *Gary Da Prato* (age 13 or 14), Brian Marshall, Andy "Toot" Kilpatrick, Ian Paterson (Some of these names are from the "Douglas Ewart high school pupils past & present" Facebook page.) William Mc Gowan, William (Wullie) Lindsay, Jim Lowe, Jacqueline Christie Addis's husband, Mark Norris, Jim Burns?, David Cronnie? Gavin Marr (wearing yellow shirt and dark navy trousers), Norman Foster, John Gordon (Jim Lowe). Colin Stewart (Fiona Scobie). Les Bartlett.

Twenty 13 year-old girls for Harvest Festival photographs (13 hired) - from the Douglas Ewart High School, Newton Stewart, class of 1976. Kathryn Soriani was a model but her pic was possibly not used and is not seen in the movie according to her. Wendy McLaughlan was used. Catherine McEwan was also possibly used. Shona Alexander - "I was an extra - had to stand about in Anwoth old cemetery wearing a thin white frock... Freezing in November! Think we were paid a fiver which was great money then." (Some info from the "Creetown Now and Then"and "Stranraer & District Memories" Facebook pages, others from a Wicker Man Facebook page.) Doreen Johnston was a model.

(For the photographs Howie looks at in the darkroom.)

A dozen islanders looking at the bone of an animal\*

Half a down islanders throwing white stones into a fire\*

Man in bull hide and four other men\*

Elderly woman on ground wrapped in a blanket and a dozen onlookers.\*

The schoolgirls - The Pitt script says there would be 18 schoolgirls in the classroom and at the stones\*. Only 11 are seen in the film, 12 in the fire dance. Some of the schoolgirls were in the fire dance (Stuart Hopps). Fiona Kennedy and Lesley Mackie were not in the fire dance. Lesley says they were all from the ballet school in Edinburgh except herself and Fiona Kennedy. (They don't look the same to me...JL)

Kids carrying "death" out of the village - Drummore Primary School kids were used for this. Two groups were made. Only one made it into the film. That group had: Kirsty McColm (holding the baby doll), Gerald McSkimming (behind her),

The other group had: Fiona Downes, Brian McCracken, and Bob Love. Also about 10 in it. They had the lines: "We carry summer into the village."

Three Jacks-In-The-Green\* - One is seen in the cart with Holly dressed as a hare in the procession

Musicians\* (Hornpipes, Three-holed whistles, bagpipes, drums, fiddles, tambourines) - None are seen in the movie besides the bagpiper (Robert Jamison, a classmate of Sheena Sanderson's - see below) who is seen in the procession, courtyard and chop chop scenes. The above-mentioned musicians are also on the soundtrack. The brass band in the procession, courtyard and final scenes were from the The King's Own Scottish Borderers Regimental Band, 1st. Battalion based at the Redford Infantry Barracks at Colinton in Edinburgh, as were the sword dancers. Chris Edwards played the bass drum in brass band. Terry Waterhouse played the clarinet. Bandmaster Lafferty accompanied them.

Seem to remember I got paid £200 😁 lot of money in those days. I was riding Argenta in what I was told was one of the opening scenes however it ended up on the cutting floor 🤣 then went on to be in lots of scenes bout 2 seconds each 🙄 (Stranraer & District Memories Facebook group, 10/22/20) I was 14 at the time, and I lived in Lochinch Castle from the age of 9-17 so was in all the scenes filmed in the courtyard below my bedroom and the garden scenes and was in the final scene singing n swaying 🤣 at the burning of the wicker man. Still wasn’t old enough when the preview came to the cinema ☹️ but I went n watched it anyway 🤣🤣 (Stranraer & District Memories Facebook group, 10/23/20) On Ash's right in the last scene.

Frank Sexton, Bett Greir and Old Uncle Tom Cobbley are mentioned as being seen in the film by the Galloway Gazette review of the premiere at the Regal Cinema in Stranraer in 1974. Old Uncle Tom Cobbley is probably the cliche', not a specific person...

Violet Marshall is a blond seen wearing a green print dress in the courtyard (to our left of the woman in red) , as Howie is freed from his Punch outfit, and as Howie gets surrounded on the cliffs (lower left-hand corner of this pic.)
