FANS of a major Netflix film which was entirely shot in Scotland are being encouraged to visit the locations used in the drama through an interactive map, which features Luss and Loch Lomond among the main highlights.

Outlaw King, starring Hollywood actor Chris Pine, charts the story of Robert the Bruce on his rise to becoming King of Scots in 1307 and is said to be the largest production, budget-wise, to be made in the country to date.

And national tourism organisation VisitScotland has now launched the initiative which goes behind the scenes of the blockbuster and allows viewers to learn more about the filming locations.

In the movie, which was launched on the internet streaming platform in November, the village of Luss and Loch Lomond Golf Club are used for scenes depicting Methven and the dramatic Battle of Methven in 1306.

With one in five visitors inspired to come to Scotland after seeing it on the big or small screen, VisitScotland expects visitor numbers to grow further off the back of the success of the film.

Jenni Steele, film and creative industries manager at VisitScotland, said: “The dramatic landscapes of Scotland are as much of a character in Outlaw King as the King of Scots himself and are sure to entice Netflix viewers off the couch and into the country.

“Outlaw King presents an excellent opportunity for the Scottish tourism industry, as film fans have the unique chance to not only walk in the footsteps of its on-screen stars but also those of their real-life counterparts.

“We hope our interactive map will encourage potential visitors to explore Scotland and the real story and locations behind the King of Scots.”

David Mackenzie, director of Outlaw King, said: “We tried to get as much of Scotland into the film as possible and in a way, it is about the land.

“I don’t think any film has really taken the image of this country to the level we have.”
