Kirkcudbright
Kirkcudbright (pronounced Ker-cud-bree) is a beautiful harbour town in the estuary of the River Dee on the North Solway shore.
The town was used in the filming of a number of scenes in The Wicker Man, prominent amongst them, the Church which Howie attends in the opening scenes, May Morrison's Post Office and Sweetshop and the scenes where Sergeant Howie searches for Rowan.
​
Many of the locations have changed little since the film was made in 1972-73.
