If it had been that much maligned town North of Edinburgh, you'd have had half a chance. :wink:

Look at those mini cabs behind the police making a bee line for that woman :lol: a rover and Jenson :shock:

It looks like there is a bridge over a river or canal where the 2 trucks are.
it was taken around 1965 going by the vehicles as the moggie reg number has a letter on the left of the reg plate

You're right about the date, late 60's I believe.

It's from 'Villain' with a very young Ian McShane and Richard Burton.

The Church is the bit that seems very familiar, the shops have probably long gone under a Tesco Metro. :roll:

I've corrected the aspect ratio for you. Don't know if it helps any.

The key to finding this location is the spire,the unusual church and the council block.
Leave with me...
