In one scene, filmed at Leaderfoot Viaduct, the enigmatic adventurer, played by Harrison Ford, is joined by costar Toby Jones.

However, locals will have been puzzled by the surroundings. While the scenes were originally shot in an eerie Borders mist, post-production CGI has added in a mountain range in the background, as well as a train on the viaduct itself. Any film fan coming to check out the site will find it difficult to feel shortchanged, though, as the magnificent “real” Borders countryside is just as stunning!
