    Legend of Loch Lomond - Movie

    My wife and I just finished viewing this rather short movie about the legend behind the song "Loch Lomond" Apparently, it was originally filmed in IMAX and has some stunning aerial views of the Loch. The story is what you would expect, and although a little shallow, was still very entertaining. Here is the link from IMDB

    http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Loch-Lo.../dp/B00005YSHA

    Things I did not expect, it appears that the period pieces all are wearing the great kilt for the 45 rebellion. Also, the lead actor seems to have his kilt on catty-wompus. I also found it humorous that during the concert scene, the band does not appear to actually be playing their instruments....


    I did, however, enjoy the film.
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    We saw it at the Loch Lomond Tower back in 2004 on their IMAX type screen. The scenery was great as was the music. We found it entertaining for what it was. We noticed the same thing about the instruments. Don't remember much about the kilts since I wasn't wearing them back then though that trip did tip the balance towards wanting to wear kilts. The whole idea had the potential to be developed into a great movie we thought.
