Archive For Films Shot In Scotland

I admit it, when I think of films, "Scotland" does not immediately pop into my mind. But there's enough of Scotland's national film archive to create an entire site, which is available at http://data.scottishscreen.com/home/ .

You can do a simple keyword search from the front page, but I thought the advanced search was better. With the advanced search you can add a variety of variables including genre, subject, sound, color, and year of creation.

A title search for castle found over 250 results. Search results include reference number, name and description. It's not underlined, but you can click on the film title for additional information, including ... oh, I see. You can't retrieve title information in Opera; you'll get a 404 error. It'll work fine in IE, however, and you'll see that the title is in bold. Anyway, title information includes details, genre, year, credits, and an incredibly detailed shot list. Some films are available to be ordered; not all.
