New Moray movie location revealed as preparations continue ahead of 'The Odyssey' filming
Another film set has appeared in Moray following reports that Hollywood blockbuster The Odyssey is to begin shooting in the area. Preparations for filming are currently taking place at a Moray woodland that suffered a major wildfire last month. Pictures show tents, trailers and specialist movie set toilets have been set up at Culbin Forest near Forres. It comes after The Press and Journal revealed images showing the construction of a set near Findlater Castle. It is now understood that crews are preparing the area at Culbin for part of the production, which is due to be released in July 2026. The area recently made headlines after firefighters fought a wildfire at the site for days to get it under control. Several hundred cast and crew are expected to travel to the area for filming. Notices within the car park state that there will be no public access to the Buckie Loch area between June 2 and July 25. The car park will also be closed from July 3 until July 16. Filming for the movie, which will star the likes of Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Zendaya, started in Morocco earlier this year. Greece and the Italian island of Sicily have also been used as filming locations. Findlater Castle, which is located between Portsoy and Cullen, is currently off-limits to visitors between May 27 and July 25 due to 'private commercial activity', is expected to also feature in the movie. The Odyssey is predicted to be the most expensive film of Nolan's illustrious career, which includes the hit movie Oppenheimer. Although partly filmed in Scotland, the film dramatizes the journey of the ancient Greek king of Ithaca back home to his wife following the Trojan War that took place around the 12th or 13th Century.

Cove Corner Fishguard launches Secret Garden and evening menu
Cove Corner opened in Fishguard late last year, inspired by the antipodean adventures of a local couple, Jake Morgan and Phoebe Noot and Jake's brother Danny, well known as the former manager of Fishguard's Royal Oak pub. In the last seven months the venue has gone from strength to strength. In February a well-attended Sunday run club was established, with runners enjoying half price coffee at the end of their adventures. (Image: Cove Corner) 'It's going really well,' said Jake and Phoebe at the end of a particularly manic Sunday shift. 'Even out of the holiday season it's been busy. We have people coming from all over Pembrokeshire as well as our regular locals who come in most days. 'We are enjoying it and having fun. If we keep the fun in it, everything else comes easily.' (Image: Cove Corner) They said the run club had been a big success. 'We usually get around 30 runners and one Sunday we had 60,' said Jake. 'They all come back for half price coffee afterwards, so it gets busy.' The café has gone from serving coffee and cake to now offering a savoury menu and always has celebratory treats on offer for festive days and special occasions. Now Cove Corner's secret garden has also officially opened. (Image: Western Telegraph) The garden at the back of the café has been completely revamped with whitewashed walls, outdoor seating, new plants and fairy lights. The licensed space offers Tiny Rebel craft lager, Somersby Apple Cider and Rebel IPA on tap as well as spirits and mixers. It is open during the day for customers to enjoy their Cove Corner favourites in the sunshine and serves an evening menu every Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 9pm. The new evening menu features small plates for £7.50 such as bao buns, loaded nachos and salt and pepper squid. (Image: Cove Corner) Burritos, burgers, loaded fries and salads are also available, priced between £14 and £16 as well as a selection of side dishes. So far, the garden has hosted a variety of music events from folk to acoustic to DJ sets. 'It's nice to have more seating options,' said Jake. 'Before we were turning people away but it's added another six to seven tables.' 'It's a real sun trap,' added Phoebe. 'It always gets the sun.' 'We are hoping for a busy summer,' said Jake. 'Hopefully we will get the weather.' (Image: Cove Corner) Cove Corner plans to offer the evening menu every day throughout the summer holidays and have plenty more events planned for the Secret Garden space. They are not resting on their laurels and currently have builders in gutting the top two floors of the property. 'We haven't decided what to do with it yet,' said Phoebe. 'We've got a few options in our heads, but we are going to keep them secret for the moment."
