The Scottish appetite for cinema was famously well catered for at all levels, from the suburban 'fleapits' to the high street picture palaces, as well as hundreds of other halls that were used more sporadically. This list and map documents over 600 places were films were shown with some regularity. It draws on information from the Scottish Cinemas Database, Cinema Treasures, Canmore, trade press directories, historical maps, and many other sources. We have tried to avoid duplication but link to the relevant websites when appropriate.
