Where was The Wicker Man (1973) filmed?

6 locations on the HorrorMeet Atlas.

• Burrow Head

  The clifftop where the wicker man burns and Sergeant Howie screams. Two charred stumps of the second effigy stood in this field for decades. Bring a coat.

• Anwoth Old Kirk

  The deconsecrated ruin and graveyard where Howie finds Rowan's grave with a hare in the coffin, plus the maypole dance nearby. Still roofless, still unsettling.

• Culzean Castle

  Christopher Lee's Lord Summerisle lives here, at least on the outside. Robert Adam's clifftop castle on the Ayrshire coast, now National Trust for Scotland.

• St Ninian's Cave

  The sea cave where Howie finally finds Rowan, right before he understands the trap. A genuine early Christian pilgrimage site, reached on foot down a wooded glen.

• Plockton Harbour

  Howie's seaplane taxis in to Summerisle right here on Loch Carron, then he walks the seafront asking about a missing girl. Filmed over four days in 1972 and barely changed.

• Ellangowan Hotel, Creetown

  The interior of the Green Man Inn, where Britt Ekland's Willow sings and the locals close ranks on Sergeant Howie. Still a hotel on Creetown's St John Street.
