    Watched this the other day - the music is beautiful...Corn riggs and barley riggs.....So is Britt Ekland.I lived in Scotland for a year - right up in the highlands and I gotta admit there's some funny folk up there...but have crowds of naked women EVER really danced around fires?? At a place in Sussex,England theres a town called Lewes where they still burn huge effigies of politicians and other figures on November 5th.

    I loved it too. But I'm yet to meet another soul outside of forums that have seen or enjoyed it.

    I've been slowly corrupting all my friends into watching it, and no-ones not liked it yet! The one problem I have is that by the end, I've lost all sympathy with the self-righteous policeman and just want them to burn him, just to show him. Hohum, showing the psychopathic side of me again...

    Thats because your from Wales - the Celtish blood runs deep in your veins.My mate is from Cardiff and although he's a big soft giant he has a real agressive side to his personality that he keeps under wraps.Love the brecons though and the black mountains - 's like another world

    i really liked it, slightly haunting.
    thought it was very clever how he slowly sees the weirdness of the people.
    good to see some real pagan traditions to, like the maypole, beltane and the dancing round the fire, but obviously secrifices are no part of modern paganism.
    plus i love scotland, very proud to be half scottish.
