While Scotland on screen was once a heather-strewn land populated by kilted men called Angus and red-haired lassies called Flora, films like Local Hero, Gregory’s Girl and Trainspotting gave us a much more believable version of Scottish life and identity.

A new generation of homegrown film-making talent – bolstered by several English directors who came north – has helped to restore a vitality and often brutal realism to Scottish cinema.

Let’s just forget about Braveheart and Rob Roy for the time being.

Instead, here are eleven under-appreciated Scottish films you need to add to your DVD shelf, if you haven’t already.
