Line 105:
Though much of the film was shot in the Hebrides, Livesey was not able to travel to Scotland because he was performing in a [[West End theatre|West End]] play, ''The Banbury Nose'' by [[Peter Ustinov]], at the time of filming.<ref name=MacD243/> Thus all his scenes were shot in the studio at [[Denham Film Studios|Denham]], and a double (coached by Livesey in London) was used in all of his scenes shot in Scotland. These were then mixed so that the same scene would often have a middle-distance shot of the double and then a closeup of Livesey, or a shot of the double's back followed by a shot showing Livesey's face.<ref>Powell (1986) p. 476</ref>
The film was budgeted at [[Pound sterling|£]]200,000 ({{Inflation|UK|200000|1945|r=-5|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}) and went £30,000 over. The [[art department]] budget was £40,000, mostly spent on effects for the studio whirlpool.<ref>MacDonald (1994) p. 247</ref> The actors received £50,000, of which one third went to Hiller.
Powell shot a scene at the end of the film where Catriona follows Torquil into the castle, to emphasise her love for him, but decided to cut it.<ref name="sight"/>
