Storyline
Two lads in Edinburgh embark on a non-violent spree of robberies. They dress up in clown masks and act as modern highwaymen, robbing coach loads of tourists in the highlands. In the process they become folk heroes to the locals. Their adventures make for a whimsical and gentle comedy, in the Bill Forsyth vein. Written by Alan Burns <aburns@nelson.com>

I used to watch this on video when sharing a house with a friend of mine and it became a classic apres beer movie! Seen dozens of times -Word for word, scene for scene Restless Natives will grow on you like a wart on Wills finger. True devotees of this movie unite! I am now without a copy of the movie and a poorer person because of it!
Must fly... could fair go a pee m'self!!
