The title celebrates the deviser’s home town, Dumfries, where locals are referred to as Doonhamers.
Dumfries
and
Galloway
is
famed
for
its
spectacular
countryside,
castles,
and
secluded
forests
-
and
it's
loved
by
movie location scouts for the same reason.
If
you
only
know
one
movie
shot
in
Dumfries
and
Galloway
then
it’s
most
likely
the
1973
cult
classic
“The
Wicker
Man”
starring
Christopher
Lee
as
Lord
Summerisle.
Whithorn,
Creetown,
Gatehouse,
and
parts
of
Kirkcudbright
all
feature
as
the
Scottish
island
village
where
police
sergeant
Edward
Woodward
is
sent
in
search
of
a
missing
girl
whom
the
townsfolk
claim
never
existed.
The
movie
was
the
inspiration
for
the
music
festival
of
the
same
name held at East Kirkcarswell, its main stage is called – Summerisle, of course!
“The
Thirty
Nine
Steps”
(1978
version)
used
Morton
Castle
near
Thornhill
and
also
Kettleholm
Village
Hall
near
Lockerbie.
The
1996
action
adventure
“Mission:
Impossible”
has
a
cross-channel
railway
climax
which
took
six
weeks
to
film
on
stretches
of
line
between
Kirkconnel
and
New
Cumnock,
and
Annan
and
Dumfries.
It
infuriated
train
buffs
for
lack
of
authenticity
and
Tom
cruise
didn’t
even
come
to
the
region,
most
of
the
action
was
filmed
on
a
stage
against a digital screen.
“A Shot at Glory” (2000) - A football film which used Palmerston Park as a back drop.
Peter
Mullan’s
2002
drama
movie,
“The
Magdalene
Sisters”
set
in
Ireland
was
shot
entirely
on
location
in
Dumfries and Galloway at the Benedictine Convent, Maxwell Street.
“Outpost
“(2008)
and
its
2012
sequel
were
filmed
at
a
munitions
factory
in
Dalbeattie
and
in
a
forest
near
Castle
Douglas.
“The Decoy Bride” (2011) used Caerlaverock Castle.
“Not Another Happy Ending” (2012) featured Upper Annandale and Moffat.
Parts of the haunting 2014 film “Under the Skin” were shot in Mid and Upper Nithsdale.
