Film promotes Da Vinci 'set-jet'

A short film produced to exploit the tourism spin-offs for Scotland from the Da Vinci Code movie has been given its first screening in New York.
The Rosslyn Enigma was commissioned jointly by VisitScotland and Scottish Screen at a cost of £50,000.

In it, a US student visits the 600-year-old Rosslyn Chapel.

The chapel near Edinburgh featured in Dan Brown's blockbuster book about the Holy Grail, the film of which stars Tom Hanks and comes out next month.

Tourism officials want to cash in on the trend known as "set-jetting" where fans flock to shoot locations around the world.

The documentary was shown at the Anthology Film Archives in New York during Tartan Week.
