The ones that feel closest to my experience are
GREGORY'S GIRL (Forsyth)
DEATHWATCH (Tavernier)
But there's something authentic about THE WICKER MAN, there's no denying.

And my favourites are I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, THE MAGGIE, THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, THE BODY SNATCHER.

Ratcatcher was a brilliant film! And the Michael Caine version of "Kidnapped" makes me homesick!....much of it was filmed in Stirling, I would recommend a visit there if anyone manages up north, take your thermals though!...

Aye, probably a good thing, Lauder was considered a "stage" Scotsman presenting shortbread tin illustration type cliches of Scotland, a bit like his modern counterpart Andy Stewart!....now Rab C Nesbitt, there is a more accurate depiction of a typical Scotsman!....

I like the Disney version too with Peter Finch, lots of location filming in Glen Coe, unusual for a Disney film to leave California!..
