Will this be released to DVD? I certainly hope so as I am anxious to watch it and judging from comments I've seen scattered around the internet so are quite a few others.
Im interested to know why this film wasn't shot in Aberfoyle, if its loosely based on the minister then why not, the scenery is 2nd to none and the real doone hill and minister pine is much more beautiful.
It is loosely based on the story of the Reverend Robert Kirk, however the plot is mainly fictional. The locations were picked for several different reasons. First of all was practical, we could not shoot up at the real Doone Hill as it is open to the public and should be kept that way - the amount of people and equipment on a film set is vast and the time it takes, long, so the hill would have needed to have been closed down for several weeks. contd
Also, the geography of the hill was not practical for a film crew. A tree not far away from Aberfoyle, near Loch Lomond proved an ideal location, both practically and aesthetically. We also thought, for a Scottish film, there is really nowhere more beautiful than than Loch Lomond - it allows people to see the beauty of Scotland at its very best.
Culross Palace in Fife provided the interiors for Kirk's manse - short of building a studio set - this was the best location.
I can totally understand, still its a shame the people that will watch your film wont see the real tree and as for getting all your equipment up that hill LOL it doesn't get any easier no matter how many times you've done it before. I'm from glasgow and go up there as often as possible, I always leave a wish, its my favourite place so a little biased maybe.
At the start of the film there are shots of Doone hill with the canopy of the Ministers pine standing proud above all the other vegitation. These shots were taken from the Kirk graveyard in Aberfoyle and were the last bits of film in the whole shoot. CONT.
Very impressed...have been reading Kirk in Aberfoyle! (No big deal really, as I live in Gartmore!) ...this has really whetted my appetite to see the whole piece. Good luck in Manchester this weekend.
Beautiful shots and colours. Looking superb. I like it loads and loads. Was great to shoot, great experience. Love it. Everyone has done amazing. Congrats Mark
I feel so curious now.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this when it becomes publicly available - the trailers look lush. Well done on the FFF award too.
I didn't realise that they had french manicures back in 1692 though (0:56-0:57).. ;¬)
