Local Hero

Director: Bill Forsyth

Local Hero (Bill Forsyth, 1983), starring Peter Riegert and Burt Lancaster was predominantly set in the Scottish village of Pennan and put the remote highland coast firmly on the map. The iconic red public phone box that featured in many scenes is still in situ. The emotive Mark Knopfler soundtrack is also worthy of mention and is regularly played at F&F HQ.
