In 1985 the movie Restless natives was released. The film is based in Edinburgh but was also shot in Glasgow, Linlithgow and the highlands.
I have spent the last 6 months tracking down the locations for a photo project.
The pictures and location details can be viewed here;
rewoundandfound.com/restless-n...
I hope you enjoy the video and the film is now available on DVD from all the usual places and be sure to check out the restless natives facebook page where fans and stars of the movie share facts and stories about the film. / 6276960465 .

One the of the best ever films of the 80s ....sòooo underrated it's a crime
Probably one of the greatest soundtracks ever
I like near the start where he Kickstarts the bike and the big country soundtrack kicks in .
Yeh that's awesome
Class
thanks for this ... so many happy memories ... sad ones too ... RIP Big Stu
I still quote this film 30 years later....
"ZOOT!! Right into the root...."
You're a clown in a stupid leather coat!
The best line in any film ever!!
Classic film, classic soundtrack 👍
Great film and soundtrack.I was in this film carrying Scotland flag near the end.
Much simpler times,great to see and fantastic soundtrack
Very well done. Scotland is a beautiful country
I still remember Edinburgh back in 1985 86 time and watching this takes me back to the good old days of Edinburgh!
Edinburgh now has changed alot since this film in 1985.
Edinburgh buses back then were better and Scottish people cheering the clown and wolf along princes street! Makes me proud to be Scottish!
Thank you for making this video
You are very welcome. Remember to have a look over on my Rewoundandfound.com website for all the location pictures.
" I hold up buses " , classic film .
Careful now. Doing bad things gives you warts.
@@AstonishingGlasgow Round the kitchen table , "does doing bad things give you worts " ....ask your mother 😋. Remember the Scottish detective saying to the American " that's a nasty twitch you have there " . But the best one is the lass saying " I know you , I know you from somewhere " . Him " no , you don't know me " ......."I hold up buses " .The Wolf and the Clown man 👍
Brilliant film and omg what a sound track..big country amazing tune
I just wish I would have got away with using the original theme for my project but it would have been pulled for copyright.
behold the sun - topher mohr and alex elena
Best film for me! ,I lived in the lochgoilhead village years ago nice to see it back then still haven't really changed.
Great movie, great memories. Nice job 👍
Superbly done
This must have taken a huge amount of time to research and produce. It really is very, very good! Thank you!
Thank you. It took quite a while but it keeps me out of trouble :-) I have loads more film location projects and loads more to come over on rewoundandfound.com I just started it up recently and have about another 15 projects to add soon.
@@AstonishingGlasgow aye thanks mate!! I'm honestly fi Penicuik as mentioned in this classic movie... Nice work "then n now"... Although I'd love to find out some of the names or rough areas outwith Edinburgh.. Like the long country road drapped by trees either side.... Maybe I'm just being a bit fussy.. lol... lol.. But great work, great work man!! Regards fi Penicuik mate
@@cadburyboi769 the long tree lined country road is in Beecraigs country park, Linlithgow. All the locations are listed over on Rewound and found if you want to know more; rewoundandfound.com/restless-natives/
Well done for this....just brilliant. This film is very dear to my heart.
Thanks very much for going to the effort for us fans (fanatics?). I always like things like this, recognising a place but having never been there. Appreciate it!
Absolutely excellent video. Many thanks for taking the time to make this and post. One of the greatest films ever made and with a soundtrack to match.
Brilliant loved this movie pure classic music for the film is excellent .really enjoyed watching this memories 👍👍
Great video - there's a lot of work gone into this. Many thanks for it.
Thanks Kevin. Remember to check out rewoundandfound.com for more Restless natives locations and my other film projects.
Saw this film back in 85 and watched it again yesterday. Just as relevant and maybe more so today. One of my all time favourites. Great work getting all the locations and with busses and bikes in the same spot!
Glad you enjoyed it and if you have a facebook account be sure to check out the Restless Natives group on there.
@@AstonishingGlasgow Thanks, will do!
Excellent video! A brilliant film and great to see how the locations have changed. Thanks for posting!
I remember Edinburgh before it was jam packed with tourists - used to go out at night - could park your car on Princes Street and go to a club - even the clubs wernt jam packed - and there were all these small bars all over the new town area - some of them tiny wee places were you could go for a quite drink with someone and there would only be about 6 other people in them if that - it was very relaxing - and all the little junk shops owned by old foggies that had been there for years and years - it was a magical place back then - not now
This is where I grew up in the 70s/80s. Cheers.
Nicely made film. Not much changes in Scotland in 30 years does it
Proud to live in Edinburgh. Central edinburgh really hasn’t changed much in the last 150 years
It's amazing how you managed to locate these seemingly unremarkable locations - especially the ones out in the countryside !
Lots of time spent on Google maps. I couldnt believe it when I found the same tree in the lane at beecraigs Country Park.
fantastic film / superb soundtrack and this vid is well done
And still FANTASTIC !! the edit of this is BRILLIANT !! LOVE IT Tony from Edinburgh.
Are you on the Restless Natives facebook page Tony? Just been posted that they are showing the film on the big screen at the Eastwood park Theatre in Giffnock on the 11th March followed by a Big Country tribute show. Might be right up your street?
fantastic mate. so nostalgic looking at these images and great to see that not too many of them have changed. pity about the joke shop right enough. great vid.
That guy at 3:14 cracks me up every time! When you watch the film it's clear that he has no idea what's going on and runs out like 'What the hell is going on?'
Brilliant ! What a great video 😬👍
Thanks, Im really glad you liked it and remember to check out my others.
Good work. Well done. One of the greatest films ever made and I don't say that lightly.
Brilliant concept and an excellent bit of location locating!
Amazing video. Well done. Loved this film. Excellent work
Ahh Murrayburn Place, memories! 😍
Brilliant.thank you
Great stuff - love that music too.
Superbly well done. Great to see so many recognisable places. Final stop is to find out what happened to the lovely Teri Lally!
Thanks Mike and head over to the Restless natives facebook page where Terry Lally posted recently and remember to check out the stills of this project over on rewoundandfound.com
Can you let me have the official link to the Restless Natives facebook page. Thanks!
Hopefully this will take you there; facebook.com/groups/6276960465/
Great work ! Thank you !
I love this film so much,think you can call it a "kilt" movie
Brilliant 👏
Very cool.
Great video. I've loved the film since I saw it in the cinema at its release. This is fantastic to see that not too much has changed.
I'd love to get the chance to see Restless Natives in the cinema... bet it would do well
Keep an eye on Eastwood park theatre's website. The week before lockdown in 2020 they showed the film on the big screen in the theatre and followed the film with a Big Country tribute band and they were great. You might get a showing like this in the future if there is enough demand.
@@AstonishingGlasgow this, local hero and several other films of the time made it seem that there might be a future in Scottish film. Wouldn't it be great to see more of our culture rather than more Hollywood pish?
I live there and I have been in some of those locations
Love this!
wee Ronnie Wotherspoon
That was fantastic, would love to do the clown wolfman thing for charity but see to many problems.
Me too. Tried to convince my boyfriend at the time to do it years ago for Comic Relief but he widnae dae it!
i was at first year school camp when they recorded the bit when they run along the beach ( think it was a beach anyway, was a very long time ago )
Very good but some captions under the images would have been cool...
Cheers. All the location information you might need is over on my main site rewoundandfound.com rather than cluttering up the video.
Love it! Especially the wee Ronny quote at the end. Only one minor suggestion, could you tell us where the images are from? I get the Edinburgh city centre, Anderston bus station and necropolis ones but the country shots are beautiful. Is the new town featured Livingston or somewhere in Edinburgh?
If you follow the Flickr link in the description you will find 72 location pictures with full location details in the photo description. The new town is Wester Hailes.
a lovely film with a deeper story other than 2 wannabees holding up buses. nice to see some things havent changed ...but there is a lot more traffic
BULLET PROOF MAN
Awesome!
One of my favourite films of all time!
Where is the high rise in the opening scene?
The flats they walk out of are on Murrayburn place in Wester Hailes near Edinburgh.
Where is the location shown when Ronnie and Will were leaving the city to do the first bus holdup? There was a dwelling on the left as they passed by going into a country setting
Sounds like the Preston Road shot. I posted all the locations on my website rewoundandfound.com/restless-natives/
Have just watched the film and theirs a shot with one the guys, Clownman with Iain McCall and lm certain its Paddys Market they walk through, where he shakes the metal fence the single story wooden building used to be a hostel for the homeless l remember it before it got demolished the Glasgow High Court is there now and the lane is closed and fenced off, and of course i remember Anderson bus station the building that was build 500yds to far West that it didnt get used as much use as it should of and disapeared from use, great film have not seen it from at least the 80s when it came out it gave me a real dose of nolstagia really enjoyed it...
Thanks for the tip, I will have a look and see if it matches up. If you are in an STV area they have shown it a couple of times recently on STV2.
BTJustice Yes i saw it yesterday and absolutely loved it, the lane is at the Bridgegate near the Saltmarket and i think King Street and car park are in the background but it was filmed at night so its darker but i do remember the wooden building quite sure about that.
Just had a look and Shipbank lane looks spot on. Looks to me like they are heading towards the river and you can almost make out one of the fancy pillars at the end of the railway bridge. Cheers.
BTJustice No problem, it was almost a double take moment for me then i noticed you hadnt mentioned it in your clip l have a couple of photos i took decades ago somewhere of Paddys Market, you can add in your description perhaps, and well done on the clips you put together i enjoyed them.
Cheers and I will add it in my stills collection. If you havent followed the link there are more of the Restless Natives locations (and loads more) pictured over on my Flickr page. www.flickr.com/photos/route9autos/collections/72157621930774473/
Is that the Rest And Be Thankful @3:24? thats quite some distance from Glasgow or Edinburgh even by car let alone a Suzuki GP125 at 65MPH
That is the rest and be thankful but they stretch the bounds of reality even further when the hold up a bus just north of Fort Augustus and are home in time for dinner while 2 up on a GP125.
I thought it was a Yamaha RSX 125
They did the same in my original home town of Sheffield with the full Monty, been up in the Highlands 18 years and recognise most of these places. Don't let geography get in the way of a good film. 😁
were is the tree lined lane at 53 seconds ??? thanks .
You will get all the locations over on rewoundandfound.com/restless-natives/ but that one in particular is in Beecraigs country park and it took a heck of a lot of searching to find it.
Beecraigs, Linlithgow. Wpuld reconise it in a heartbeat, been running about there since I was wee. There's another scene not shown in the video where they take the road oit of Linlithgow as well, it's changed a wee bit since then too
Is the tower block still behind the grave stone that Ronnie talks to?
No any more. All the high flats in Sighthill have been demolished now.
Brilliant, how'd you find them all ?
I dragged the family around the ones I knew of in Edinburgh, even tried to recreate the scene with my daughter where Will was sweeping the path in the park lol
Cheers. I spent hours on Google street view or for the likes of the grave stone I made a guess that it might be Sighthill cemetery in Glasgow then spent 3 hours trying to find it. As you might have noticed from my other videos I like to try and find as many film sets as possible and I will soon be launching rewoundandfound.com as a place to keep all my projects. Im glad you tried to recreate the litter scene. Social services would have a field day if you had got her to rob a bus lol.
BTJustice
Its one of my all time favourite films.
Yeah we might of got into trouble trying to "Hold up Bussees !"
Ill check out your other videos 👍🏻
great music did u do it yourself or ??? let me know
I cant take credit for the music. I would have loved to have used a Big country track but I would have had problems with copyright so I found this track on the You Tube music library.
What about Glen miller ..🤣
someone please upload this film im a canadian who just heard of it and would like to watch
It was available on the BBC iplayer. You may be able to view it there.
@@AstonishingGlasgow thanks i will have a look
What a brilliant film (any false tits ) brilliant
PMSL 🤣
Do you believe in ghosts ?
Where is 1:04 location the long straight road
Location; Suidhe Viewpoint, B862 near Loch Tarff.
BTJustice Thanks it looks like i might visit there sometime in the future looks beautiful.
a cult classic..should be up tbere with the red balloon movie
We still have all the original tarmac road surfaces . 🤣
You would think trees just were discovered 20 years ago. I’m so tired of overgrown trees everywhere covering buildings and locations these days.
Are you allowed to complain about trees when your name is Greenleaf? :-D
@@AstonishingGlasgow 😂
Have you been selling any more of that awful shit to my wee Angus... WHO ME...""SMACK"""..
So much more clutter now
Even better if it actually told you the locations .
It says in the video description and there is a caption at the end of the video telling you where to go for all the locations.
Every fucking place looks the same nowadays. Thank god its hardly changed
80 pounds
Used ta say that in my local bookies years ago, the staff never got it, it always pissed them off
