Movies filmed at Aran Islands

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Aran Islands as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • Father Ted 1995–1998
    “The opening sequence (including shots of the Plassy shipwreck) were filmed over Inisheer — the smallest of the Aran Islands.” Wikipedia

Named here by Aran Islands’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Aran Islands, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
