Stunning projections of Hollywood icon Harrison Ford have illuminated some of Scotland’s most picturesque landscapes, celebrating the latest episode in Glenmorangie’s Once Upon a Time in Scotland film series.
The striking visuals, featuring Ford in a kilt, were displayed at prominent locations including the Three Sisters of Glencoe, Castle Stalker, and Dunrobin Castle. The event marks the launch of Ford’s favourite episode, The Mountain, directed by actor and filmmaker Joel Edgerton.
A cinematic tribute to Scotland
The Once Upon a Time in Scotland series, produced by the renowned single malt whisky brand Glenmorangie, explores the magic of Scotland’s landscapes, traditions, and craftsmanship. The latest instalment, The Mountain, is now available to watch on Glenmorangie’s website and YouTube channel.
Ford, best known for his roles in Indiana Jones and Star Wars, has spoken about his deep admiration for Scotland and its whisky heritage. His involvement in the series adds an extra layer of prestige to Glenmorangie’s ongoing efforts to celebrate Scotland’s rich cultural legacy.
Illuminating Scotland’s beauty
The large-scale projections showcased Ford against the dramatic Highland scenery, drawing attention to the connection between Scotland’s natural beauty and the craftsmanship behind Glenmorangie whisky.
A spokesperson for Glenmorangie said: “Scotland’s landscapes are as rich in storytelling as they are in beauty. Having an icon like Harrison Ford take part in this tribute to our country and our whisky-making heritage is truly special.”
Passers-by and photography enthusiasts who witnessed the illuminations described them as “mesmerising” and a “fitting tribute” to Scotland’s cinematic and whisky traditions.
A growing cinematic collaboration
Joel Edgerton, known for his work in films such as The Great Gatsby and Loving, directed The Mountain as part of a wider collaboration with Glenmorangie. The film delves into the rugged Highland landscapes and the inspiration they provide to whisky makers.
Speaking about the project, Edgerton said: “Scotland’s scenery is breathtaking, and it was a privilege to bring that to life in this series. Harrison Ford’s connection to the land and the culture made him the perfect figure to feature in our celebration of this remarkable country.”
The Glenmorangie campaign highlights how whisky brands are increasingly engaging with storytelling and visual art to share their heritage with a global audience.
