Anecdotes

Production notes

Scotched in Scotland is a remake of 1948's The Hot Scots (1948), employing extensive recycled footage from its predecessor. In an effort to enhance the film's eerie atmosphere, a whistling, howling wind-like sound was incorporated into the soundtrack, a departure from the original rendition.

George Pembroke doubles for the late Ted Lorch in new scenes; Lorch died in November 1947. New footage was filmed on January 19–20, 1954.

References to a Gillette advertising slogan are also featured several times using a parrot and a skeleton. The slogan, "How are you fixed for blades?", began in 1952 using the Gillette mascot, Sharpie the Parrot.
