It is well-known that the famous running-along-the-beach scene in Chariots of Fire was filmed in St Andrews but the University town is not the only part of Fife to have had a starring role. Pittenweem and North Queensferry have both put in appearances and the historic village of Culross often provides a period setting for tv and film – and more suprisingly – for Captain America, the First Avenger.
