The Wicker Man opens with Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) attending mass so the audience understands that he is the God-fearing sort. He worships in Greyfriars Scottish Episcopal Church in Kirkcudbright. There’s a flashback to this scene about halfway through the movie, too.
Then, he flies a seaplane over some remote-looking islands to this fictional Hebridean destination. There are quite a few of these islands, but one is Eilean Mòr which is actually in the middle of the next two locations on this list.
Just before he flies into the town’s harbour, you can quite clearly see the jagged rock named The Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye in the background of a couple of seaplane shots. The Isle of Skye is a rather photogenic place (I spent a month therein March 2020) and has appeared in countless films. Read next: 8 Epic Isle of Skye Filming Locatio...
As Howie approaches the main village on Summerisle, we see birds-eye-view shots of little white houses dotted around the coastline. He lands in the harbour and walks up a narrow pier to the mainland. All of these shots are in a village called Plockton, not too far away from the Isle of Skye but definitely on the mainland. I also visited Plockton be...
And those are the only two The Wicker Man film locations that are in the Highlands, though Plockton will appear again a couple of times later on. The rest are in the borders. Howie wanders into town to speak to May Morrison who runs the post office (and sells some pretty disturbing sweeties, too). This building used to be a police station, and it i...
After his chat with May Morrison and her human daughter Myrtle, Howie heads to The Green Man Inn for a pint, a meal and a room. Now, why there is a need for an Inn on an island where they don’t like outside visitors is a bit confusing but let’s just go with it. The exterior of the inn is a house on Ann Street in a town called Gatehouse of Fleet. I’...
But the downstairs pub interior for The Green Man Inn is somewhere completely different in Dumfries and Galloway. It is the Ellangowan Hotel in Creetownand I wouldn’t be surprised if the decor is the same as it was in the 1970s when it was a The Wicker Man location. Get ready for some pretty horrific Scottish accents in this scene, too. Woodward’s ...
Howie stays in one of the upstairs rooms at The Green Man Inn, which is actually just a bedroom in a residential house at 59 George Street in Whithorn. Read next: Outlaw King Filming Locations in Scotland
It’s the next day, and Police Sergeant Howie isn’t sure what to make of the locals and the fact that no one knows who young Rowan is let alone that she is missing. He heads off to visit the local school and witnesses the children dancing around a maypole and singing about the birds and the bees. They are standing just outside Anwoth Old Kirk in Cas...
After learning more about Rowan, Howie visits the registrar’s office to see if there are any records on Rowan Morrison. The former public library at 60 St John Street in Whithorn stands in for this The Wicker Man filming location. It also stands in as Summerisle’s library too, later in the film on May Day when the policeman wants to research the fe...
