There’s a flashback to this scene about halfway through the movie, too. High Street Gallery, 84 High Street, Kirkcudbright Howie wanders into town to speak to May Morrison who runs the post office. This building used to be a police station, and it is located at 84 High Street in Kirkcudbright. It’s now an art gallery. 9 Ann St, Gatehouse of Fleet, Castle Douglas 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.The exterior of the inn is a house on Ann Street in a town called Gatehouse of Fleet you can easily see which house it is. It is a very long building opposite the Masonic Arms pub with two front doors next to each other. It used to be the Cally Estates Offices Anwoth Old Kirk, Castle Douglas 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 Castle Douglas and you can quite clearly see the old church behind them. This is where Rowan is supposedly buried (she isn’t) but it 100% is the location of her harvest photo. The bungalow literally across the road is Summerisle’s Schoolhouse. 20 High Street, Gatehouse of Fleet, Castle Douglas Howie’s next port of call is Summerisle’s Chemist where the proprietor sells essential medical treatments like pickled foreskins and snake oil embrocation. We don’t see the exterior, but the interior is 20 High Street in Gatehouse of Fleet. Today, it is a chemist. Howie sneaks back into the chemist to find Rowan’s harvest photo later in the film. Kirkcudbright Tolbooth, High Street It’s May Day and for some strange reason, Sergeant Howie’s seaplane won’t run. So, he heads back onto the island. he chases down a man wearing a huge pantomime dress with a dragon’s head into a courtyard where locals are preparing for the festival. The entrance to this courtyard is Kirkcudbright Tolbooth which is now a museum. Harbour Cottage Gallery, Kirkcudbright After snooping around on the boat, Howie visits a building called Harbour Cottage which turns out to be the local bakery. The exterior is in Kirkcudbright, where in real life this building is called Harbour Cottage Gallery.  Burrow Head, Whithorn, Newton Stewart The most iconic The Wicker Man location is, of course, the set-piece in which gave the film its name. The production team built the majestic burning man just down the coast from St Ninian’s Cave at Burrow Head in Whithorn. The closest actual address to this location is the Burrowhead Holiday Village #thewickerman #wickerman #filminglocation *Content Use & Originality Statement:* This video is a transformative, fan-made creation.
