Calton Road, Edinburgh
In reviewAfter the distillery owner is murdered, the police meet Cameron and his superiors, and take him in for questioning. After a day and a half he's released onto the street, which turns out to be Calton Road, Edinburgh, where it passes under Regent Bridge to the north of Waverley Station. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets.

Where this came fromGribloch House, Kippen
In reviewGetting the message from the phone box, Cam heads for a nighttime assignation with Yvonne at her house, an Art Deco mansion, supposedly in Fife. In fact this is Gribloch House, built in the late 1930s, sited on a high hill to the south-west of Kippen. (I did find a source for this information some time ago, but have been unable to locate it recently. In any case there are plenty of photos online to which comparisons can be made.) — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromInverailort House, Loch Ailort
In reviewThe camera pans over to Andy's place, which is in reality Inverailort House on the eastern side of the loch. Source as above. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromB834 Station Road, Killearn, Stirlingshire
In reviewCameron makes a gruesome discovery and flees. We see him later on as he pauses briefly at a junction, a (prop) road sign showing directions to Dingwall and Stromeferry. The car is in fact travelling up the the B834 Station Road, Killearn, Stirlingshire to where it meets the A875 Balfron Road; we see the Old Toll House on the left. (There's nowhere that this signage could be feasible except perhaps at an unclassified junction a fair bit north of Inverness.) — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromEdinburgh Castle
In reviewA blurred shot of a dying man on railings pans up to a night scene of Edinburgh Castle, and the title 'Complicity'. The view is of the south-west elevation of the castle, suggesting a camera located on Castle Terrace or King's Stables Road. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromForth Road Bridge
In reviewPondering the past, Cameron crosses the Forth Road Bridge, the old toll booths visible here. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromGlasgow Airport
In reviewCameron picks up his hire car. Though slightly out-of-focus, the location building in the background matches part of a terminal building at Glasgow Airport. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromGlenturret
In reviewNow doing less controversial stories, he's off to a distillery for background, though a chance remark by an employee leads Cam to think there's another story here. This is Glenturret, the real name used on notepaper shown on screen, and it can also be read on the casks. (However later on, another fictional name, "Grantside", is mentioned when discussing the distillery owner; possibly a goof). The screenshot shows part of the sign, excluding the name itself.

Where this came fromGranton Harbour
In reviewFollowing the murder of his newspaper's proprietor some weeks ago, Cameron is covering a dockside environmental protest, joined by photographer Kenny. Filmed at Granton Harbour, north of Edinburgh, west of Leith as evidenced by comparison with pictures of the piers and the buildings some of which still exist today. This shot looks north with the Fife coastline in the distance. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromGribloch
In reviewNight-time at Gribloch. An intruder forces himself on Yvonne, but it's Cam, and they're playing one of their kinky games. Afterward he decides to get away from it all for a bit. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromImperial Dock, Leith
In reviewAnother assignation: Archer has directed Colley to Rosyth, Dock C. In reality this was the now-demolished grain elevator at Imperial Dock, Leith. Verified by comparison with historical images. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromInchmickery
In reviewSunrise on the Forth looking over an island to the bridges. Location confirmed as Inchmickery (it's also name checked in the film) by Scotland: the Movie Location Guide — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromInverlarrig House
In reviewBack at "Inverlarrig" House, night-time. We've just seen Andy in the kitchen, getting up to investigate a noise and then the camera shows us the the exterior. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromKippen, B822 Station Road
In reviewWhile he was at the distillery a relayed message from Archer told him the next meeting point. Colley goes back to "Strathspell" where he grew up, to wait for a phone call. That name is fictional but it is in Stirlingshire: the village of Kippen. The prop phone box was sited in a lay-by on the B822 Station Road heading out to the north-east. Again Scotland: the Movie Location Guide. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.

Where this came fromLoch Ba bridge on Rannoch Moor
In reviewAfter Cam drives away his car breaks down on the moor. Another motorist stops to help, but Cam knows it's Andy. Before he can do anything, Andy grabs his hand and injects something.

Where this came fromLochgoilhead

Where this came fromLothians View, Castland Hill, Inverkeithing
In reviewCameron taking time out, stops his car at a viewpoint overlooking the Forth bridges to check his phone messages.

Where this came fromPolnish
In reviewAndy and Cam have a talk up on the hill, Andy telling him to give it up, let the police deal with the secret caller, though he has some sympathy for the avenger. This again is Polnish, from a slightly different spot. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromPolnish, Loch Ailort
In reviewMorning comes and Cam reaches a hillside viewpoint overlooking a loch. This is Polnish, on Loch Ailort (which is nowhere near the real Stromeferry). Source Scotland: the Movie Location Guide. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromSaracen Head, Gallowgate, Glasgow
In reviewCam relaxes with colleagues in the pub, but undercover cops are watching his movements. He starts a fake fight with Kenny, then uses the confusion to leg it up the lane outside. Filmed at the Saracen Head, Gallowgate, Glasgow. Verifiable by the previous shot out of the door showing the shops opposite (personal recollection of those businesses). — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromSt. Mary's Street, Edinburgh
In reviewThe next rendezvous is another phone box, pretty much as described by Archer. Though he fails to call, Cam makes a grim discovery in one of the shop windows. The location is on St. Mary's Street, Edinburgh, which forms a junction with Canongate and High Street. The shot here is half-way down, showing the lane, Boyd's Entry. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
Where this came fromTron Square, the church St. Serfs, Dunning, Perthshire
In reviewColley follows instructions and drives to the village of Dunning, Perthshire (name-checked in the film) to get information from his "mole": a series of deaths to check up on. The exact spot is Tron Square, the church St. Serfs. Location confirmed by Scotland: the Movie Location Guide. — recorded for Complicity by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
