The most compelling reason not to become a heroin addict occurs early in the film when one of the characters chases his heroin into a toilet bowl, disappearing entirely. The worst toilet in Scotland. Yikes.

A gritty Film, well acted, Ewan McGregor and Kevin McKidd, Ewan Bremner and the very talented Robert Carlyle...

Merl Windsor, Edinburgh is renowned for its part in the iconic adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel-turned-cult-film, Trainspotting. Shot amidst the winding streets of Scotland's capital as well as in its second city, Glasgow, the film highlights some of Edinburgh's best sights.
