Drumbeg (Scottish Gaelic: An Druim Beag) is a remote crofting village on the north west coast of Scotland in Assynt, Sutherland, Scottish Highlands and is in the Scottish council area of Highland.
[1] The village of Drumbeg lies within a few hundred metres of one of Scotland's earliest known shipwrecks, first surveyed in 2012 by Wessex Archaeology and thought to be a Northern European trading vessel dating to the mid-seventeenth century.
Wreck remains include three iron cannons.
The significance of this wreck has been recognised in its legal designation as Scotland's first Historic Marine Protected Area,[2] making it an offence to interfere with the wreck without a licence from the Scottish Government, although divers may visit the site on a 'look but don't touch' basis.
Several of the villagers appeared in the film as extras.
