An amateur photographer captured this stunning picture of the Milky Way at the cave where horror film The Wicker Man was filmed - during 'eerie' pitch black conditions.
Sylvan Buckley, 46, pictured the moment the core was seen through the clear night sky at St Ninian's Cave, Dumfries and Galloway, where scenes for the 1973 flick were shot.
The small sea cave was a retreat of St. Ninian, Scotland's first saint, and from the early Middle Ages, has been a place of pilgrimage.
