“We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made or only just happened.”
-Mark Twain

Great editing.

Surely one or two place names were pronounced correctly!

Thanks, Bri. The end credits song mentions stars, too.

You're right, Mom. Some Scottish place names were occasionally pronounced correctly, so the disclaimer isn't quite true. But no Scottish place name was pronounced correcly on every occasion, I think. I'll have to watch it again and see.

Like the Harry Potter series, the Caledonia series gets better and better.

Well, that's good, because I know you didn't like one of the earlier Harry Potter films. I'm not reading the books myself, but Clare is as ever enthusiastic, and we saw the latest film together.

Sorry, you're right: Places like Troon were pronounced correctly every time. But no animals were harmed.

Were the animals pronounced correctly?

No animals were pronounced correctly in the making of the film. (There are no animals in Scotland.)
