St Andrews is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production β in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
1 production was filmed at 1 place inside St Andrews rather than at St Andrews itself β listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The beach scenes showing the athletes running towards the Carlton Hotel at Broadstairs, Kent, were shot in Scotland on West Sands, St Andrews next to the 18th hole of the Old Course at St Andrews Links.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names St Andrews as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is β each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
Movies filmed elsewhere in St Andrews
1 production shot at 1 place inside St Andrews, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against St Andrews itself.
- Never Let Me Go University of St Andrews per Wikipedia 2010
Named here by St Andrewsβs own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at St Andrews, 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.
