Part of this was filmed at the old copper mines between wester tullich and Ardtalnaig when I was at ardeonaig primary school

Did Michael Palin not come back to visit Killin because he liked it so much?

Part was filmed at finlarig castle

They stayed at Killin Hotel while filming and Roger got to know them quite well when he served them dinner in the evenings.

Yes the killin hotel.i got many souvenirs from the pythons .many good memories

Some locals were used as extras. I can spot my brother and Muchty in the movie.

Think the rabbit was also a killin rabbit? Roddy Munro’s rabbit?

Alastair Ritchies dad’s farm.filmed at the copper mines

Always thought Killin could have made much more of its connection with the film. Other villages have made much of there use as famous film locations.

According to dad, Michael Palin proposed to his wife on the Dochart Bridge.

Some of the cast and crew managed to get a lock in at my aunt Sue’s hotel - the old Falls of Dochart (it’s now a care home) and got up to mischief. I believe her fake trellis ceiling had to be replaced.

This is Alistair. I remember it well. My Grandparents were so excited for them. They came for supper in the evening. Anyone still have supper?

A family in Killin with some of friends still remember you than you for sharing a happy couple with a baby likely yourself .

I remember my dad getting petrol there at the pump across the road from the hotel.

Great how all those hotels had petrol pumps back in the day & lots of places in between!

I used to sell the petrol there. That is how I remember Luib hotel. The public bar was a shed out the back of the hotel.

I worked in the Hotel for 9 years

If I was asked to pickup papers to deliver to caravan parks I would stop their for petrol I had to make sure it was before 10 as the Bar shut then.

Recognise many of these amazing self portraits ! 😍
