By golly haven’t seen that in many a year. A lovely old classic comedy.
Trainspotting is the one that leapt immediately to mind.
In so far as there’s any obvious “canon” of native Scottish cinema, then it’s quite small: John Grierson (though he didn’t direct the most famous film he’s associated with), Alexander Mackendrick (with Whisky Galore! as his best known Scottish film), early Bill Forsyth and the Boyle-MacDonald-Hodge collaborations (though Boyle is English).
The oddity is that Local Hero’s the nearest I can think of to any film set in Aberdeen itself. Though You’ve Been Trumped is a must-see documentary about a live local controversy.
Good stuff by outsiders not already mentioned: Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps, Powell and Pressburger’s The Spy in Black and I Know Where I’m Going and Glazer’s very recent Under the Skin.
I was thinking about mentioning I Know Where I’m Going, but I was worried by the twee quotient.
I’ve never seen Tunes of Glory myself, but it tends to get very favourable mention on a piping bb I sometimes hang out on.
Oh, it is utterly twee. In a completely Powell and (at the obvious remove as always) Pressburger English fashion.
Having nodded to Andrew Macdonald as Scottish in my previous post, I suppose I now have to acknowledge that he is also Emeric Pressburger’s grandson.
Filmed in Ireland.
Largely filmed in Ireland. The really scenic mountain bits were filmed in Scotland.
Seconding Chewin’ the Fat, Still Game and The Angel’s Share!
Stone of Destiny. The film is from 2008 but the true story is set in 1950, when several students who were Scottish nationalists stole the Stone of Scone from Westminster Abbey.
Edited to add that it’s available from the Netflix DVD-by-mail service.
He is also apparently very anti-English.
I prefer the Horrible Histories version. 
Another little known Scottish film, showing life in the schemes of Edinburgh - New Town Killers
The Bridal Path
A 1959 British comedy film directed by Frank Launder and starring Bill Travers, George Cole and Bernadette O’Farrell. It is based on the 1952 novel of the same name by Nigel Tranter. A young man on a remote Scottish island travels to the mainland in search of a wife.
Very funny.
Oh, and another shout out for “Comfort & Joy”.
Great film.
One of my favourite Scottish films is The Last Great Wilderness, directed by David MacKenzie who also did the aforementioned Young Adam, and Hallam Foe which is also worth a look. He films Scottish scenery the way Scots see it, less romantic but still beautiful.
The Last Great Wilderness is sinister and hilarious. It’s a little bit like what The Wicker Man would have been like if it had actually been written and directed by Scots. Personally I find The Wicker Man to be a bit patronising in tone, in the way it completely ignores the reality of religion and attitudes to aristocracy on the West coast of Scotland.
Another old film (sort of a missing link between Whisky Galore and Local Hero), but still available on DVD, and it’s certainly turned up on terrestrial TV in the witching hours, is The Maggie, based loosely on Neil MacGregor’s Para Handy tales, in which the wily captain of a jobbing coastal cargo “puffer” (on its last sea-legs) manages to inveigle himself into a contract to deliver an American millionaire’s furniture to his newly-purchased Highland castle.
Nit pik - Neil Munro - one of my two favourite authors
Don’t think you can get the 70s BBC version of Sunset Song in America, but there is a new film of it due out soon. It’s got farming, religion and WWI in Aberdeenshire.
