Thread Name: The Wicker Man
Subject: RE: The Wicker Man
I holiday every year in Dumfries and Galloway and there is a Wickerman festival at Kirkudbright at the back end of July every year. (The Tolbooth centre in Kirkudbright was used as a location too). I took my film studies student daughter to Anwoth, which is only about 4 miles from where we stay, and which is the location used for the cemetery scenes. She was highly impressed, especially when I walked her to the end of the Isle of Whithorn to see Ninian's Cave - the cave used towards the end of the film. Sorry to say, it only goes about 15 feet into the cliff, and doesn't emerge up top!

The first thing she did when we got back was to dump her bags on the floor, get the (director's cut) dvd out and start the chorus of "been there - seen that!"
