BadlyWiredDog that’s the shop from the League of Gentlemen.

Obviously, bonus point for where it actually is - clue: not Hadfield / Royston Vasey 🙂

@ElShalimo - Lurchers indeed. I'm lucky enough to see it from my window.

The phone box is actually in Pennan - on the Moray Coast and nowhere near the beach. I've been planning a ride from one to t'other, it's 315km.

@oldagepredator - Star Wars (last but one)
@mrb123 - Highlander? - I'm sure Sycamore Gap from pic 2 was in that too.

Too far back but definitely a location with history

@oldagepredator – Star Wars (last but one)

One before that.

@ElShalimo - yep. The beach in my photo is "Bens Beach" at Camusdarach, by Morar. The "village" shots were all filmed at Pennan and the village hall (the dance scenes) at Onich and the misty loch early on was Loch Tarff above Fort Augustus. I've photos of that last one but I reckoned that was too obscure.

That sounds like a great ride between the two locations

Something to look forward to once some normality returns!

Technically this isn't from the actual film but it's pretty closely related so I reckon it'll get guessed easily.

Took this last year but rode past it on my ride earlier which made me think of it.

Looks a bit like the castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And is the one before it from the same film?

Doune Castle - as above with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Outlander more recently.

I'd be cheating if I listed the rest as I'd have to have googled them.

@thepurist that'll be the ok LD Canadian military church in brookwood. Or, the deep south redneck church in Kingsman, among other things.

Oooo, I know the castle and have driven past it and seen it in films. Now what is it called without Googling. God I can't get my head around Gaelic. On the road below Kintail IIRC. Eilien Doone or something like that.

Film? Got it in my head but can't quite get it

You're on the right track Welsh Farmer.

The castle in question was used in Highlander (as was my earlier location of the Cioch, Skye) but the film I'm thinking of here was more recent and suggested the castle was the Scottish HQ of MI6...

It was, answer a few pages back. You could also have had Swallows and Amazons (remake).
