Scotland’s weather cost it a place in movie history, it has been revealed.
Screen legend Gene Kelly came to Scotland to find a location for the famous musical film, Brigadoon.
But it was too wet so it was decided to film on a Hollywood sound stage instead. It is even more ironic given that Kelly’s most iconic role was in the 1952 hit Singin’ in the Rain.
A new television programme has uncovered how Scotland missed out on Kelly’s Brigadoon – as well as some other surprising facts about films that have been made in the stunning scenery of the Scottish Highlands and islands over the years.
