    Movies/Shows with Celtic Roots

    We are currently watching Outlander finally! Other than Braveheart, are there any good shows with Scottish/Irish roots? We binge watched Reign last year, which we quite enjoyed. Looking forward to seeing Mary Queen of Scots when the movie comes out in December. Is there anything else out there we have missed? Prefer something along the historical fiction route.

    Old BBC (if memory is correct) television series, May to December. Main character is from Scotland. Throughout the series, comments/one liners are made about him being Scottish-ish.

    A very loose connection to Scotland. Bob Hope & Bing Crosby in Road to Bali. Sounds odd, but a Scottish connection is there.

    Netflix has “chewin the fat” and “still game.” Both are comedies and mostly Glasgow based.

    Song of the Sea is animated, but I enjoyed watching it. Another animated film is the Secret of Kells. The entire film is animated in a style similar to the illuminated manuscript text that we all know so well.

    I know that you are after live action. Film, but these two cartoons really are fabulous.
