The stories surrounding William Wallace abounded for centuries before this film hit Hollywood, but this romantic tale of vengeance, greed, bravery and love proved a major success and continues to be one, 11 years on. Wallace hailed from Lanark, to the south-east of Glasgow, but the Hollywood treatment transformed Lanark into a stretch of misty mountains and heather-covered glens, so Glen Nevis was chosen as the location. Additional shots were filmed in Glencoe and the area around Kinlochleven.

This Ken Loach film set in 1987 is a tale of love in time of war, in which a bus driver meets a Nicaraguan exile called Carla, whose life has been torn apart. The action moves from Loch Lomond and Glasgow to Nicaragua as the driver (Robert Carlyle) attempts to help Carla put her life back together.

26 Entrapment (1999)
The locations chosen for this movie could have been influenced by its major star Sean Connery, and it was his first Scotland-based work since Highlander. The edgy pace of the robbery sequences in New York, England and Kuala Lumpur gives way to the peaceful retreat of Duart Castle on Mull.
27 Eye of the Needle (1981)
Second World War super-spy the Needle discovers vital evidence about the Allies' D-Day invasion, but as he aims to escape British shores he is shipwrecked and washed ashore on an isolated island - which was Mull.

Filming took place at a set built close to Glencoe village. The Glenfinnan Viaduct made another appearance.
40 Highlander (1986)
The original film used numerous locations in the West Highlands to convey a dramatic, mountainous country. Glenfinnan was used as the birthplace of the hero Connor MacLeod (played by Christopher Lambert), but the Glenfinnan used in the movie was actually created in the car park at Eilean Donan Castle - though water-based scenes were filmed at the real Glenfinnan. Eilean Donan was used as the departure point for the Clan MacLeod going off to battle, but the writer preferred the name Glamis. The film's big battle scene was shot at Glencoe, MacLeod's keep was constructed at The Study in Glencoe and he is pictured running on deserted sands in Morar and perfecting his weaponry skills at Arisaig and on Skye.

Scottish locations for Highlander 3 included Glen Nevis, Castle Tioram and Moidart. It also recycled some scenes from the original Highlander movie.
42 The House of Mirth (2000)

43 I Know Where I'm Going (1945)

The market scenes were filmed at Culross and the countryside scenes were shot around Coldingham and Cockburnspath.
50 Local Hero (1983)
The tiny sea-edge community of Pennan, near Banff, and the Sands of Morar supplied the locations for the fictional village of Ferness, and most famously, the telephone box scene, when MacIntyre (Peter Riegert) describes the Northern Lights to his boss Happer (Burt Lancaster). Pennan's phone-box is still around today, though in the movie it appears on the quayside, not its real-life location.
