Sinopsis

Because this book is about films related to a place, rather than to a genre, person, year or era, the range covered is hugely diverse. There will be films discussed here you have not heard of which are worth digging out and I would be beyond astonished if any reader has seen every film I treat as Scottish.
What is a Scottish film?
Which are the best? And the worst?
BRAVEHEART • TRAINSPOTTING • THE WICKERMAN • SUNSET SONG • DOG SOLDIERS • ORPHANS • GREGORY'S GIRL • UNDER THE SKIN • YOUNG ADAM  • SCHEME BIRDS • CALIBRE • AND VIOLET • DIRECT • THE ANGELS SHARE • THE 39 STEPS • THE ROAD DANCE • AXE RAIDERS • GOD HELP THE GIRL • NAE PARASAN • RED ROSE • PLAYHOUSE
This book offers a meticulously researched guide to over 400 films set predominantly in Scotland, spanning from silent cinema to modern day blockbusters. Each entry provides essential details, a concise plot summary, contextual insights and critical analysis.
All the opinions I offer in this book are mine, and mine alone. You're free to disagree, and almost certainly will, and your opinion is equally valid.
Furse emphasises the connections to Scottish culture, highlighting adaptations of literature and the real-life events inspiring these films.
Scottish Films is a thrilling treasure chest, packed with fresh insights and lesser known gems waiting to be discovered. It's a vibrant celebration of Scotland's cinematic artistry.
