Interesting that David I didnt know that.


Another great scots film is Gregorys girl, real scots and real accents! fimed around Cumbernauld.
The guy who plays Wallaces Uncle, Brian Cox is an amazing actor, he was the original Hannibal Lector in "Manhunter" film, in my opinion his performance is one of the finest I have ever seen, truly spine chilling

Everyone knows about the inaccuracies of Braveheart. If you have the DVD it may have a second disc with a documentary on how the film was made. Mel Gibson confesses the liberties he took. He also says that so little is really known about Wallace and much of it is myth. For this reason mel felt justified in a little "artistic license".

I love the film, but I agree that Rob Roy is a better film in many ways, more believable.

Gregory's Girl. I haven't seen that film in years. I remember laughing really hard when Gregory's friend was telling a girl how they process veal and her reaction to it.

It is a great film, but Sadly when the star of the film Gordon John Sinclair wanted to get into more mainstream films, his agent made him change his name to John Gordon Sinclair and have elocution lessons to get rid of his Glasgow accent, Ive seen him on telly since and he has no trace of an accent (apart from an English one).
