And in the animated film Brave, Princess Merida not only faces challenges in the Highland Games, she also travels through fantastic landscapes on her horse, Angus. These landscapes look very like the Highlands. They were inspired by the filmmakers’ own trip to Scotland. Brave is an animated film, but it has several scenes set in Scotland. One spectacular thing is the mysterious stone circle. It looks like something from a fairy tale but in fact it is based on something real called standing stones. Brave also uses a ruined 15th-century castle called Dunnottar Castle as inspiration for Merida’s family castle. The castle is situated on a huge rock looking out over the sea. It’s all about being Brave! Princess Merida wants to go her own way in life. To do this, she must go against tradition and fight for herself in the Highland Games. In an archery contest where admirers compete to win her hand in marriage, she easily beats them all. However, being a rebel has consequences and her actions bring chaos to her family and the kingdom. When a wise witch grants Merida one wish, she must use her bravery and her skills with a bow and arrow to save her family from an evil spell. Brave has won both a Bafta and an Oscar in the category best animated film.
