Films with Caithness connections

Any other films with Caithness connections ?

My Uncle Andrew Bain from Scotscalder appeared and played pipes in this film from 1950....

Madeleine - 1950 This is based upon a true story about a Scottish woman, Madeleine (Ann Todd) who was tried and found not guilty of murdering her lover. There were four real pipers (James Caution, P/M Angus MacAulay of the Lovat Scouts, Andrew Bain of the Metropolitan Police, Calum MacPhee) and two actors faking it. Some of the tunes played were The Glendarual Highlanders and Mrs MacLeod of Raasay.

My uncle was the little lad who popped his blonde head up - cannot remember if it was out of a ditch over over a dyke.
