Harrison Ford has delighted locals in a visit to the Scottish Highlands.  Harrison Ford visited the Balintore Inn near the village of Tain for Sunday lunch.

He is believed to be staying at the nearby Louis Vuitton owned Glenmorangie House, and cycled to nearby Tain for dinner.

Inn owner Mike Dwyer described Mr Ford to The Press and Journal as a “really nice guy” who took time to meet the team.

He asked Mr Ford why he was visiting the Highlands, but he stopped short of giving an answer.

Unfortunately he was not up for a photograph, but he left an autograph for Mike with a message which read “great feed, many thanks.”

He said: “He was out in the beer garden, enjoying the glorious weather we are enjoying at the moment.

“Harrison had his lunch outdoors, and washed it down with a pint of Belhaven Black – and he had some beef jalfrezi, which he said he thoroughly enjoyed.

“He said it was fabulous and that he was surprised to find it on the menu – his security team also said it was the best meal they have had all week.

“He was after a Guinness, but unfortunately we don’t serve it here.

“So we suggested for him to try Belhaven Black – the Scottish equivalent – and he said it was delicious.”

It’s unknown why Harrison Ford is in my part of the galaxy, he could merely be visiting the famed North 500 tourist trail through the Scottish Highlands, although it is also rumoured that he may be in the country to film for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein movie for Netflix.

That production has been filming in nearby Aberdeenshire and stars fellow Star Wars alumni, Lars Mikkelsen and Oscar Isaac.  Filming has moved on to the central belt of Scotland, with the film currently on location in Glasgow.  Director Guillermo del Toro has also spoken on X about having been location scouting in Edinburgh.
