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.

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)

29 Flash Gordon (1980)

Breakish airfield on Skye is perhaps an unlikely location for this take on the 1930s comic strip.

30 From Russia with Love (1963)

The boat chase scenes near the end of this Bond movie were filmed on loch Craignish near Crinan in Argyll.

39 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

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.

41 Highlander 3 (1994)

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)

Glasgow's grand buildings were thought to more adequately portray the look of polite New York society in the early 20th century and the team shot at Glasgow City Chambers, Kelvingrove Art gallery and the Theatre Royal, as well as moving out to Gosford House near Edinburgh and Manderston House in the Borders.

43 I Know Where I'm Going (1945)

The film crew made their base at the House of Carsaig on Mull and the nearby jetty appears in the film. Both Duart Castle and Torosay Castle also feature.

Dunimarle Castle by Culross in Fife served as the exterior of the family home of the American boy who is befriended by the Little Vampire.

The market scenes were filmed at Culross and the countryside scenes were shot around Coldingham and *censored*burnspath.

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.

51 loch Ness (1995)

Most of the filming took place on loch Ness, unsurprisingly, but a few additional locations were thrown in for good measure. Film-makers wanted a picturesque loch-side village with a pier, so they added in the little village of Lower Diabaig on loch torridon, 50 miles to the north-west. Urquhart Castle was overlooked in favour of Eilean Donan in Wester Ross. Dores, Foyers and Fort Augustus were also used.

58 Mission: Impossible (1996)

The location of the railway in the final scenes was Nithsdale in the south-west of Scotland. Extensive footage was also taken along the stretch from Dumfries to Annan and Dumfries to New Cumnock by train and helicopter, pleasing the film-makers, who wanted an open countryside free of overhead cables.

59 Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Variety of locations in central Scotland and Argyll, notably Doune Castle (scene with the 'Trojan' rabbit) and the Cave of Caerbannog, setting of the 'Killer Rabbit' scene halfway along the south shore of nearby loch Tay (it's actually an abandoned copper mine). Castle Stalker was also used and crowd scenes were shot at Sheriffmuir near Stirling.

60 Morvern Callar (2002)

Mr Lloyd the art master has his studio across the street from Greyfriars on the corner of Candlemaker Row and Merchant Street, while his rival invites Miss Brodie to his home in Cramond (Barnbougle Castle in the film).

The much loved otter movie featured loch Feochan, Oban and Seil Island.

73 Rob Roy (1995)

The Balquhidder area where Rob Roy lived in the early 18th century had to be ruled out because of modern developments, so film-makers made for the West Highlands, where Rob Roy seemed to have a number of dwellings in different locations, including Bracorina on the north side of loch Morar, at Rannoch Moor and Inversanda in Glen Tarbert. The film also shot at Glencoe in the hills above loch Leven, and in Glen Nevis, where the MacGregor village was built. Nearby Drummond Castle served as the seat of the Marquis of Montrose and was chosen for its ornamental terraced gardens (which are open to the public). The courtyard of Megginch Castle near Perth was used as a village square, and Crichton Castle south of Edinburgh was the site of the duel between Rob Roy and Archibald Cunningham.

74 Rockets Galore! (1957)

The sequel to Whisky Galore! was also shot on the Isle of Barra.

75 Shallow Grave (1994)

This deliciously dark comedy-thriller was a roller-coaster ride through Edinburgh's New Town, over the cobbles of Heriot Row, along Great King Street and Drummond Place, down St Vincent Street to North East Circus Place - the latter being the location of the flat in which most of the action takes place (although, in reality, that was a combination of locations including nearby Scotland Street and a warehouse in Glasgow). Ewan McGregor plays a journalist and filming took place in the (then) Albion Street offices of the Glasgow Evening Times. The body was disposed of in Rouken Glen on the outskirts of Glasgow, and the car was dumped at Mugdock Country Park near Milngavie.

Other locations include Princes Street and Calton Road in Edinburgh, where McGregor and Ewen Bremner are pursued by store detectives at the start of the film. But although it is set in Edinburgh, most of the filming was in Glasgow, and many of the locations have since been closed or demolished. The football sequence at the beginning was shot at the Firhill Complex in Hopehill Road. Renton and Spud share a milkshake in Jaconelli's café. The Volcano disco where Renton meets Diane has since closed. The bar where the American tourist is mugged was the London Road Tavern, and the Begbie fight took place in Crosslands on Queen Margaret Drive.

In 1948, a cast and crew of 80 descended on the tranquil island of Barra. Compton MacKenzie's story about a ship that runs aground carrying 50,000 cases of whisky and the islanders' attempts to salvage them was inspired by the wreck of the SS Politician off Eriskay in 1941. Director Alexander Mackendrick filmed all over the island and many locations are easily recognisable. The village of Castlebay, Kisimul Castle and the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea have changed little. The bank and school house are still there under different names, as is the local post office which was used as the island store. Beach scenes were shot at Allasdale, Eoligarry and on the neighbouring island of Vatersay - now linked to Barra by a causeway.

96 The Wicker Man (1974)

The fictional Summerisle in the cult film was created from a variety of mostly Galloway locations, including the colourful houses and closes of Kirkcudbright.
