    PM1, the Wickerman was very impressive in the pics and I'm sure more impressive at the site.

    Can you tell us more about the story behind the Wickerman?

    it is a film frae 1973...

    here is a guid link....http://www.steve-p.org/wm/



    it has become a cult classic...

    it wuz filmed in Dumfries & Galloway... (near Newton Stewart)

    Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward, & Britt Ekland (Rrowwrr!)

    The film centers around a battle of ideals between a devoutly-religious Scottish police sergeant from the mainland and the older pagan beliefs of the locals on a remote Hebridean island. The idea was that the pagan ways of the islanders would be conveyed to the audience as they followed the policeman's attempts to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. The policeman would become ever more deeply embroiled in the increasingly bizarre ways of the locals, culminating in a horrifying conclusion involving human sacrifice by burning in a huge wicker colossus.
