Locations - Creetown

(Based on and used with permission from the wicker-man.com site which was written circa mid-2000s.)

They shot here on Nov 15, 16 and 19, 1972.

Creetown is a small town in Dumfries And Galloway which lies a few miles West of Kirkcudbright. It plays host to one of The Wicker Man's more famous filming locations.

The Ellangowan Hotel

See also Andy Taylor's location footage from 2000. And from 2019.

(See an imagined floorplan at the time of the movie.)

The side entrance to the bar.

 Interiors of the Ellangowan Hotel bar were used as interiors of The Green Man pub.

 The shape of the room has changed somewhat since the time of filming. In June 2004, the wall which once displayed the
'harvest festival photographs' was removed to extend the pub. The picures here was taken during May 2004 prior to this work
being carried out.

Also, a snooker area and new toilets now take up the rear of the room which was previously ( at least partly ) the dining area
where Howie ate his disgusting turquoise beans and the other nook where they sang Gently Johnny.

 However, the actual bar itself, and much of the woodwork, is still the same that existed during filming.

 These shots were taken by David Sherlock in August of 2015.

 Some behind the scenes shots taken in the Ellangowan.

 Across the road from the Ellangowan, at 29 St John St, is a house which was once Walker's Bakery. It was used for
interiors of Summerisle bakery. Mickey Harvey, who used to run the bakery lived in the house next door and was happy
to share his memories of the film's production with us.

 You can see a pic of that bakery here. See also Andy Taylor's location footage from 2000. He speaks with Micky Harvey.

 A few doors down (31 John St) is the house where a nosy Summerisle resident once peered out her window near the beginning of the film. That's Annie Findlay.

 Down the street is the Creetown Heritage Museum which contains a Wicker Man display consisting of a large (4m) model together with unique photographs from the film's production and other materials well worth looking into.

Background music as Howie reads in the library

### General Info

 The piece is called Mirie It Is. It is medieval. It is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra brass section? On the Trunk recording it is called Festival. On the Silva Screen recording it is called Festival and Mirie It Is. The songbook credits it as "based on the traditional tune Mirie It Is. Music by Gary Carpenter."

### Lyrics

These are the lyrics but in all versions this is done as an instrumental.

In Old English

Miri it is while summer ilast  With fugheles song  Oc nu neheth windes blast  And weder strong  Ei, ei! What this night is long  And ich with wel michel wrong  Soregh and murn and fast

In modern English

Merry it is while summer lasts With the song of birds But now draws near the wind's blasts And harsh weather Alas, alas! How long the night is! And I, most unjustly Sorrow and mourn and fast

That last line is where "Sleep close and fast" comes from when Howie is being anointed!

### Versions

Graphic novel/storyboards

Robin Hardy did storyboarded the entire movie, 280 pages by some accounts, and had talked about making a graphic novel out of it, getting someone else to draw it though as he admitted he couldn't make them consistant. He talks about that at the end of the (2012) article below. Unfortunately many illustrations have been sold at auction or are otherwise unavailable so it is doubtful that a complete set will ever come to light. He recommended looking for them on eBay but I have never seen any there.

Here's a screencap of an article from Sight & Sound (October, 2013) that shows a few pics.

(He talks about doing them for The Wicker Tree here (Internet Archive page of 2012, Craveonline interview with Robin Hardy). Also at the end of this (WIkipedia))

The Hardy brothers have mentioned that they have uncovered some new ones. One was seen in the promo for their film Wickermania. It is of the scene of Howie reading in the library. 4 pages of that scene were on exhibition at the Cinémathèque Québécoise in Montreal. (1-3, 4.)

Examples of Hardy's drawings include one done over a picture of Punch in the procession, one of Howie as he met with the old fishermen, another (two) of Punch, and others...

Edward Woodward

Some nice stills. Hardy and Lee, looking into the Wicker Man with the cameraman (a close-up of the same shot in yesterday’s movie, Gary Carpenter, Ingrid in the library…., constructing the wicker man with a crane, the tree in the background,

Hardy: They ‘ploughed through all 12 volumes of The Golden Bough.’ Commendable rather than just picking out a few things here and there.

Ingrid: Britt wasn’t happy during the filming.

Gary Carpenter: Britt wasn’t quite as rhythmic they would have perhaps liked. Tells of how involved he was in Britt’s dance scene. Lots of talk about that… (found a double in a strip club in Glasgow, she stayed for 3 weeks…)

Visit some locations. (Church, school, maypole site) Hardy describes Barbara Rafferty wrong, it’s left hand for the egg, right hand has the child.

Hardy at Wicker Man site with legs about as tall as he is. Woodward had an escape wire on his back!

Nice c/u detail of the Wicker Man design. Constructed of wicker sheets that were usually used as windbreaks for sheep.

The crowd who sang as the Wicker Man burned had been “dragged out of the pub” and didn’t know the words.

They describe the last shot, “the sun going down like ice cream melting on the horizon.” (Hardy)

(35:47 Hardy says they turned the missing pieces, as much as they could afford, into the longer cut. *So, there were pieces extant that were not copied over?* No, they did their best with what they could afford to do.) Used Corman’s negative…

Talks about follow-up, May Day (turned into Cowboys for Christ/The Wicker Tree), and we see a poster. W/ Vanessa Redgrave,
Wicker Man drawings

These drawings were done by Seamus Flannery, the art director. At first it had a face. They settled on a faceless version. See Brown's book for a fuller explanation. (ibook pgs 228-230) 6 have come to light. 3 of them were displayed at the Horse Hospital exhibition in London June and July of 2023. (Click on each pic for the text descriptions within them.)

The Lord's My Shepherd

## General Information

The congregation sings "The Lord's My Shepherd" (Brother James Air tune) in the church scene. They only sing one verse and a chorus. That is Gary Carpenter playing organ (in drag…) We don't know who actually sang it or where they recorded this. A reel to reel deck is seen in John Brown's on-set pics. (Not sure if it was used for recording and/or playback.)

## Lyrics

### In the flashback

The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll not want, He makes me down to lie.

In pastures green, He leadeth me, The quiet waters by.

He leadeth me, He leadeth me, The quiet waters by.

### As Howie is being burned

Howie also sings this as he is being burned in the Wicker Man as the villagers are singing the second chorus of "Summer is icumin in",  using the same lyrics as first version but seems to be singing the descant?

The Lord's My Shepherd  I'll not want He makes me down to lie

In pastures...

Aliviah and Ben: (watches the video) :O how could she?!
The Maypole song

## General Information

Maypole song: This is an old song (Cinefantastique). There are variations on this such as The Rambling Bog/Rattlin’ Bog. In the movie it is sung by girls, not boys, despite our seeing boys on the screen. "I hadn't wanted to bring in a bunch of boy sopranos for an afternoon, it's too expensive, so the girls that we had for the other work over-dubbed a couple of tracks, and it worked." At the end we see the girls banging out the (copulatory) rhythm.

Titled just Maypole in the song book.

Walter Kerr sings it in the film, Paul Giovanni on the stereo CD... Rachel Verney and another singer, Sally Presant, also made other lasting and uncredited contributions to the film, namely many of the boys' voices in the ***Maypole*** sequence... - Gary Carpenter.

Pictures Lord Summerisle shows Howie

These are what Lord Summerisle shows Howie of the islanders squeaking out a living before the new religion took hold.

This is the first picture we (barely) see.

This is the second picture.

The third shows women standing at a "farlan.", probably used to gut herring. Note the barrels in the background.

The fourth shows a man tending to/making a stringed (hemp?) basket.

Both of these last two appear to be taken on the West coast.

 Thanks to Linda Fitzpatrick, Curator, Scottish Fisheries Museum, St Ayles, Harbourhead, Anstruther for info on these pictures!

End credits music

## General Information

 "The closing music, (which) was largely transcribed from a Bulgarian folksong", according to Gary Carpenter. "Paul was into Trio Bulgarica!

(Gary, 9/23/17 Facebook) Labelled as Sunset on the soundtrack album, it is a Bulgarian folk tune entitled Zamrakanala Mona Jana. The principle trumpet holding out that long note was Colin. (Gary, 9/23/17, Facebook)

The Silva Screen version lists it as being played by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Gary Carpenter, arranger.

Closing credits, based on a traditional Bulgarian tune. Music by Paul Giovanni.

## Lyrics

### a) following the Highland Widow's Lament as Howie flies over and lands

It was upon a Lammas night when corn rigs are bonny beneath the moon's unclouded light I held awhile to Annie the time went by with careless heed  til 'tween the late and early with small persuasion she agreed to see me through the barley

Corn rigs and barley rigs And corn rigs are bonny I'll not forget that happy night  among the rigs with Annie

### b) A chorus is repeated as we watch a man on horseback ride past the houses by the harbor.

Corn rigs and barley rigs And corn rigs are bonny I'll not forget that happy night  among the rigs with Annie

### c) We hear more as Howie walks around village

The sky was blue, the wind was still the moon was shining clearly I set her down  with right good will among the rigs of barley I kenned her heart was all my own;  I loved her most sincerely I kissed her o'er and o'er again among the rigs of barley

### d) We hear more as Howie rides the trap to Lord Summerisle's castle.

Corn rigs and barley rigs And corn rigs are bonny I'll not forget that happy night  among the rigs with Annie

Missing scenes

See Steve P's site for more info about scenes, dialogue and some pics. Also see this chart that shows what scenes were shot and what were not. Scenes that we have pics for will be found below. There are many more scenes that we don't have pics for. Some scenes had parts that were shot but were cut out of any version.

## Two unknown scenes

Ian Thomas interviewed Amanda Sunderland, antlerman Ian Sunderland's daughter. In that interview, Amanda mentions two scenes that were cut from the film.

1) (Ian Sunderland) had to hold Britt's hand and skip down a country lane with her. This took place at Castle Kennedy. I suspect it was close to the point where we see Britt, Ingrid and Diane Cilento chasing Punch with the tongs. Ian thinks it wasn't used for two reasons: 1) he wasn't the right type for it, 2) his skipping wasn't "up to scratch". His memory of it: "The hobby horse was just starting, I just happened to be standing nearby. They said, you, go down this lane and grab her hand and go down this lane skipping."

2) a scene in which the doctor opens his bag and it is full of serpents. Elizabeth McAdam-Laughland told Amanda about that. There is a picture of him holding some snakes in Brown's book so that means it was shot. (It would have tied in the inscription on Beech Buchannan's gravestone as well.)

## Howie asking where the public records office is

This would have taken place before he found the registrar (Ingrid Pitt.) This picture shows Howe being prepared for that scene. It is part of the We Carry Death scene...

## Mainland

Interview with the man who was supposed to jump off the bridge in the mainland, on The Ex:S Wicker Man, a Scottish BBC documentary, 9:33 in (cued up).

Pictures include a swan in the river, the bridge the man was supposed to jump off of, the maninland pub and the prostitute.
Greyfriars Episcopal Church in Kirkcudbright

The church where we see Howie do a reading. (He takes communion in the ruined church in Anworth.) (screencap)

Here is a great shot of the main stained-glass window.

This page shows the parish's view of the altar and main stained-glass window, as well as tells of some of the history of the MacLellan family who date back to the 1400s in the area!
Locations - Castle Kennedy Gardens

(Based on and used with permission from the wicker-man.com site which was written circa mid-2000s.)

They shot here from Oct 17 - 24, 1972.

See also Andy Taylor's location footage from 2000. You can download this map.

The gardens of Castle Kennedy can be found approximately five miles to the east of Stranraer. Several key scenes from The Wicker Man were filmed here and the gardens remain largely unchanged since the time of filming. Like a number of the movie's locations, these gardens lie on the gulf stream, which permits the growth of exotic plant life.

On entering the gardens, the first thing that one notices is the ruins of Castle Kennedy itself. This is the distinctive castle remains that are seen behind Howie as he makes his approach towards Summerisle Castle. The Dial (aka The Belvedere), where the fire dance took place, is in the foreground.

In view of the castle ruins is the circular topped hill which previously housed the stone circle. Although the standing stones were polystyrene props, the hill is clearly recognizable as the area used for the 'fire leap' sequence where we see the young girls of Summerisle jumping over fire naked. Also, many of the bushes that can be seen in the film around this area are no longer present. This location was also used for the scene where the islanders practice their mock beheading ritual. It is called The Dial (aka The Belvedere.)

The tree-lined walkway by which the community make their way to the beach is located adjacent to the circular hill is known as Cordyline Avenue.

This area where the procession started by the Black Loch is known as The Giant's Grave (the mound to the right in this pic).

These aerial shots annotated by Andy Taylor show very well where some of these scenes were shot.

Paul Meacock has put together a number of pages that show where more of the procession took place.

Also of interest in these gardens is Lochinch Castle, which served as the majority of the interior shots for Castle Summerisle.

An area within this castle was utilized for the scene in which the villagers gather in the walled courtyard to hear Lord Summerisle give his instructions for the May Day celebrations. However, Lochinch Castle itself is
used as a private dwelling-place and is therefore not open to the public.

Some pics of the courtyard taken by David Sherlock.

We would thoroughly recommend these picturesque gardens for a visit, regardless of their Wickerish connections.

For further information on the gardens, their official site can be found at http://www.castlekennedygardens.co.uk
1999 reunion

On January 15-17, 1999 a reunion was held at the Ellangowan Hotel. Edward Woodward, Ian Cutler and author Allan Brown attended as well as Gail Ashurst and Stuart Bolton of the Nuada fan magazine (and wrote about it in issue #2, Wicker Man Convention by Stuart Bolton) and many locals. Here are some pics. (These screencaps of them are from a videotape Andy Taylor made of a visit there in 2000.)

BBC Scotland also filmed this reunion and included it in theThe EX:S Files show dedicated to The Wicker Man. Here's a newspaper article about it too.

Fan Murray Nix had some recollections about it.

Click on each picture to get more info about each one.

Deirdre Murray, the nurse who repaired Edward Woodward's toe is probably in there somewhere as are "Ian and Sandy Foster declined a wedding invitation to watch the orgy scene being filmed, but it was rained off." Jane Jackson too. Peg Cutland, a on-set nurse as well was there.

Behind the scenes

## Movies

### Olive Mcdonald

Olive Mcdonald, a seamstress who worked on-set at Lochinch for three days, took some home movie video on a 1" reel to reel deck. You can see it and read more about it here.

### Plockton

There is a longer version of the home movie footage that was shot in Plockton but it has been removed from YouTube due to the owner's concerns. You can see it however in this Internet Archive link (.avi download).

The shorter version of that footage, from the same owner is up on YouTube, It starts with Howie shouting at the girls in the window with their masks on. It also includes scenes of Howie and others in the cast drinking with the locals many of whom you'll recognize as being in the movie. You can see that here. There is even more footage of both of these scenes that is currently unavailable so until that comes forth, this is the only footage at all that shows the film being made. (Olive's footage above poorly shows Christopher Lee at the costume van but nothing of the actual shooting of the film. A blooper reel also exists. It was shown in Falkirk in 1999 as well as London in 2000.) **See more on all this here**.

### Cannes

AP archive footage (brief - from :44 tp :47) of the Wicker Man at Cannes, 5/11/73!

## Still pictures

See the above link for specific scenes. Also see StudioCanal's online store as they have prints of many of the shots taken by set photographer John Brown for sale.

Other pictures/scans:

Editor's script
Locations - Anwoth

(Based on and used with permission from the wicker-man.com site which was written circa mid-2000s.)

They shot here from Oct 31 - Nov 6, Nov 21 and Nov 24, 1972.

See also Andy Taylor's location footage from 2000 and 2009.

For information about the site this link will tell you everything you want to know: This one with pics! and this one with gravestone transcriptions.

A few miles east of Creetown is the small village of Anwoth.

Anwoth is clearly one of the most evocative of all The Wicker Man's filming locations.

The maypole dance, schoolhouse, ruined kirk, and graveyard scenes were filmed here. These locales are situated in relation to each other exactly as you would expect from viewing the film. The 'harvest festival photographs' seen in the film were shot here as well as some of the pictures Howie sees in the darkroom. A brief shot of Howie riding in the trap was also shot in front of the schoolhouse.

Despite some tidying of the ruined kirk, the area is instantly recognizable.

The debris we saw in the church when Sergeant Howie examined it has since been removed, as has the small alter where Howie placed his make-shift cross.

The large cross seen in in the left of the 'harvest festival photographs' is also gone. The back gate is also missing, however, it has been saved and is placed outside to the back of the building.

The 'Memento mori' skull-and-crossbones motif is still there. However, the smaller skull and cross bones motif seen behind the breastfeeding woman is no longer there.

The church graveyard exists today as it did during filming ( with the exception of Beech Buchanan's grave which was a prop ), although the area is now a lot tidier than it was in 1972. The couple watering the graves was shot here too as you can see the maypole and the distinctive headstones in the shot as well.

This is where we see Howie meet the Old Gardener.

This pic shows it from another angle.

In front of the graveyard gates is the spot where the maypole sequence was performed. There is even a dent in the grass in
the exact centre of the area, which is where the maypole prop stood.

    Opposite the ruined kirk and graveyard is the old Anwoth school house.

This building's interiors and exteriors served as Summerisle school. The building can be rented.

The shot of Howie peering over the graveyard wall to see, depending on which version you watch, the couples watering the graves and the nude woman weeping on a grave, was shot in the graveyard looking across to the schoolhouse.

Some behind the scenes shots of Anwoth: The maypole. The schoolhouse.

Unlike many of the other locations, no use of clever editing was employed to create the geography of the area on screen. It is
fair to say that if you intend on visiting any of The Wicker Man's filming locales, you must visit Anwoth.

Lobby Cards

These are the various lobby cards used in the "front of house" (public areas) of cinemas.

## British Lion

Some/all? are in color.

Pictures have small B&W icon of TWM, list the leading stars and then the movie title followed by Lion International, Films of London.

I have only seen 7.

- courtyard

- undertaker’s shop

- LS in front of WM with arms up

- Miss Rose and LS at night

- Howie as Punch untying Rowan \*(similar but not the same shot was used by WB)

- Howie showing picture to fishermen

- Hand of Glory

## Warner Brothers

Some are full pic, others have icons on left side. (Only the ones that have the icons on the left are shown here.)

The ones with the icon on the left also say:

- on the left- Flesh to touch… Flesh to burn! Don’t keep the Wicker Man waiting!

- under on the right - The Wicker Man, … A totally corrupt shocker from the author of Sleuth and Frenzy!. Also show stars names. Rated R.

The text reads: Warner Brothers, A Warner Communications Company Presents “The Wicker Man.” 74/185. "Property of National Screen Service Corporation. License for use only in connection with the exhibition of this picture at the theater licensing this material. Licensee agrees not to trade sell or give it away or permit others to use it nor shall licensee be entitled to any credit upon return of this material. This material either must be returned or destroyed immediately after use."

Looks like 8 were made:

- LS with Ash

- Howie on floor with Hand of Glory

- TWM by itself

- LS in lock

- LS on cart with axe

- Howie in robe being held

- Howie untying Rowan \*(a similar but not the same shot was used by British Lion)

## French (for 1995 release)

    These are color PR shots. "The Wicker Man, Un film de Robin Hardy", is in red letters (in different corners of the pics). I have only seen these 5. They are:

- aerial of fire dance

- costumed villagers by dock

- Howie hitting Alder (scene not shot from this angle in movie)

- LS in front of WM arms raised (but on LEFT of it)

- Howie untying Rowan \* (same shot used by British Lion)

## Imagined (StudioCanal/Under The Floorboards)

Richard Wells design very similar to WB but with "imagined" WM in left side. (Only 40 available in the UK.)

Stars listed, crew

I have seen 5. Each one has it’s own caption with Willow’s pic having two:

- “Hail, God fo the sea. Accept our offering. And now for our more dreadful sacrifice.” LS on cart, long shot

- “You’ll simply never understand the true nature of sacrifice.” Howie with cross in ruined church.

- “This year a the procession’s end as has already been proclaimed, a holy sacrifice will be offered.” masks in procession

- “Some things in their natural state have the most vivid colors.  Willow by bull pic on wall.

and “And now for our more dreadful sacrifice.” Willow by bull pic on wall.

- “Come, it is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man” LS in from of WM
Orgy music

## General information

Flute music as Howie wanders the green and sees orgy (Gently Johnny instrumental)

The English folk song Ride A Cock Horse is discussed in Nuada, Vol 3. In the novel, it is used to describe the orgy scene - bells on their fingers and toes keeping rhythm…

Music by Paul Giovanni. It it titled Loving Couples.

## Versions

All versions except for the Silva Screen are basically the same length.

### Silva Screen

Called Loving Couples, 4:16, longest and best version.
The procession

## General Information

It begins with solo bass drum, then brass. Giovanni based it on Willy of Winsbury but turned into a waltz.

SFX of sticks clapped, Morris type bells, then solo drum again.

Cinefantastique: " The procession march is wholly original. (Giovanni?:) "What I did was to take a very old song -- in this case it was 'Willy of Winsbury,' 14th century -- take the melody and form it into a piece for a brass band. I wanted a waltz, in three, so that it could be slower and stranger and that the whole procession could sort of sway." See Gary Carpenter's website for better info.

Procession" is an arrangement of the tune of the Child Ballad "Fause Foodrage"

Music by Paul Giovanni.

A good post about it on Facebook.

## Versions

### Director's Cut, Theatrical version, Final Cut

5:00 including drum beats before and after., All versions of the movie have about 17 seconds of drum beats before the music starts, ~1:59 of music and ~44 seconds of drum beats after the music.

### Silva Screen, Trunk Records

2:16, Has 6 seconds of drum beats before the music starts. It also has a few bars that the Director's Cut does not have. Has 8 seconds of drum beats at the end.

Continuity problems

MANY more to come... (See also the imdb listand here.)

When Howie walks up to and is in the schoolhouse, the window to the right of the lecturn, as seen from inside the schoolroom, is open. When he walks into the churchyard, it is closed.

The shots of Howie up close to the picture on the wall in his room during Willow's dance. This is a reversal of what was shot. Howie's ring is on his left hand now and the part of his hair is on other side from what we see. This may have been done because a shot of him otherwise would have included the cabinet to the right of the door, making the shot more cluttered. So they shot him from that side and reversed it to make it look right.
