I don't know about where the shooting stars were shot and I am sure Andrew is right about the telephone box but the beach scenes were shot on Camusdarach beach just along the road from where we had one of summer parties in Arisaig.
I have been there many times. If I remember correctly the 'church' was specially built although don't quote me on that one

You are so lucky to be living somewhere breath takingly beautiful. Id give up London and be there in a shot if it was possible, but im not giving up hope - yet

Your making me jealous now. Although nothing compared........... some London buildings do make me stop and the Embankment and the River Thames on a cold winter morning is a fantastic sight but i would happily swop it

Now you've got me wondering about the movie where some guy has won a lottery but dies and a couple of his pals try to convince the lottery fella that he is alive, then the whole village finds out and wants a share.

Isn't that Waking Ned?
Think it's an Irish film.
