Forest Whitaker has described his first trip to Scotland as a "touch of magic".
The Last King of Scotland actor reflected on his Oscar winning role as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin while visiting Edinburgh to collect a donation for his own charity. Whitaker said the movie, which he starred alongside Scot James McAvoy, had a "massive" impact on his career and would love to explore the character's past.
The 61 year-old was quiet on future appearances in the Star Wars franchise as Saw Gerrera, but spoke on how he missed out on a visit north of the border during filming in 2006.
