Brave could boost tourism

Orkney, as well as the rest of Scotland, could be set to benefit from a tourism boost from the Disney-Pixar animation Brave.

Featuring the voices of Billy Connolly and Robbie Coltrane, the movie just opened this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival. The film is expected to bring a boost of £140 million to the Scottish economy.

The premiere has brought together Disney-Pixar and VisitScotland in a unique collaboration between the film giant and Scotland‘s tourism agency to showcase Scotland across the world.

A ring of standing stones, similar to the Ring of Brodgar, features in the film.
