Tour Scotland photograph of Auchmithie, location of the Scarlett Johansson film, Under the Skin in
Scotland. Scarlett Johansson has recently been in this wee village in Scotland filming on her latest movie Under the Skin. Auchmithie was chosen because of the backdrop its picturesque, but rugged harbour could provide. A former fishing village located three miles north east of Arbroath. It sits atop a red sandstone cliff, high above a shingle beach. The Arbroath Smokie originated in Auchmithie. Sir Walter Scott stayed in the Waverley Hotel in Auchmithie and described Auchmithie in his novel The Antiquary published in 1816, under the name Musslecrag. Under the Skin is based on a novel of the same name by Michel Faber, who lives in the Black Isle. The book tells of an alien, Johansson's character in the film, who picks up hitchhikers on the A9 road in the Highlands to harvest body parts.
