It's already been well-covered as to plot, deficiencies, etc. by other reviewers. So I will just say that, bogged down though it may be with a dreadful and forgettable romance that has little bearing on our boys, the merits far outweigh the slight defects. The 'Hundred Pipers' dance segment counts with their best, the bungled forced-suicide of Stanley's, ditto (Out of our sight, the gun goes off, but Stanley is revealed to be still standing; "What happened?" asks Ollie. "I missed," Stan replies tearfully.)Hard to beat that. Forget the carping criticisms of bad/non-existent Scots accents. Those of us who are fans find little to fault here. Recommended!

This is the worst Laurel and Hardy film, for one it isnt funny, and two the supporting cast's ability to play Scottish people was awful, more than half the people in the cast have American accents. I have an example, the leading actress has the strongest American accent of them and she says: "I don't want to leave Scotland, I have lived here my whole life". Give me a break.

While BONNIE SCOTLAND doesn't qualify as a classic, it's still lots of fun for Laurel and Hardy fans. The film's main problem is it's uncomfortable grafting of the boy's comedy onto a melodramatic B-picture storyline. June Lang and William Janney are the romantic leads, but unfortunately their roles are rather shallow and unsympathetic. Thankfully, Stan and Ollie's scenes are good enough to keep the film moving and enjoyable. Highlights include the boys innocently wreaking havoc in a Scottish boarding house, their improvised dance to "One Hundred Pipers," and Stan's constant inability to keep in step with the rest of the Scottish army unit! There are also good comic moments from James Finalyson, Mary Gordon and diminutive Daphne Pollard (hilarious as a cockney chambermaid). The picture and sound on this video transfer are sharp and clear.

Ollie and Stan sneak aboard a ship to Scotland. Stan's grandfather leaves him a bagpipe and snuff box- (the sneezing scene is worth the cost of this film)! They accidentally join the army, and are sent to India where they once again foil the plans of an invading army. Parts of this film were rereleased in "Laurel & Hardy on Parade". Bonnie Scotland is full of laughs and well worth the cost! It has a nice plot and very few dull moments. Contains several popular scenes including Ollie's bed on fire, Ollie sneezing in a pond, a pleasant dance, and a rival with a popular character. If you enjoy bagpipes, humor and Laurel & Hardy- this is a great movie!
