Greek war vessels arrive at Buckie Harbour as filming of The Odyssey ramps-up
In what could be the biggest clue that The Odyssey is due to start filming in Moray very soon, a number of wooden ships have been spotted at Buckie Harbour.
Excitement has been building since The Press and Journal first reported that filming of the blockbuster movie was due to get under way soon at sites across the region.
The film is to be the most expensive of Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan's career and has attracted a top cast.
Confirmed cast picks include Matt Damon in the lead role, with Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson.
Last week, The P&J reported that setup had already begun at the historic ruin Findlater Castle, with visitors prohibited from visiting until the end of July.
Filming infrastructure has also begun arriving at other locations in recent days, including at Culbin Forest near Forres.
There has also been activity at Buckie Loch, where equipment as well as trailers and tents were spotted on site.
Now a number of Greek-style wooden ships have arrived at Buckie Harbour.
Pictures show five war boats of varying size, which are similar to those spotted on the film set in Greece.
The epic film dramatises the journey of the ancient Greek king of Ithaca back home to his wife following the Trojan War which, according to Greek myth, took place in the 12th and 13th centuries BC.
The Odyssey is due to hit cinemas in 2026.

Landlocked city home to one of Europe's warmest beaches hotter than Tenerife
Córdoba in central southern Spain has one of the warmest beaches in Europe. Valdearenas Beach sits on the banks of a reservoir and delivers bright blue water and orange sand A landlocked city in Spain is home to one of the warmest beaches. Think of Córdoba, and it's probably images of historical buildings and art galleries that come to mind. The Spanish city is one of Europe's culture capitals - home to the most UNESCO sites in the world including the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Medina Azahara, the city's historic centre, and the Courtyards Festival of Córdoba. The city has now become an even more compelling destination after a new study by Saga Holidays revealed it's also home to one of Europe's warmest beaches. Although not a coastal destination, Valdearenas Beach in Córdoba sits by a stunning lake with sandy shores and promises tourists average temperatures of 31°C in the high season. It outperforms two coastal competitors in Badajoz; Playa de Cheles and Playa de Orellana, by just 1°C. The beach is something to behold. In the summer months watersports enthusiasts and sunbathers descend on it in great numbers, thronging over sand that is a brilliant orange colour and into bright blue water. A recent visitor to the beach said they were "incredulous" when they heard that there was a beach near Córdoba, given the settlements' setting more than 100 miles from the coastline. They had not heard that around 40 years ago the lake was dug out of the hillside to serve as a reservoir, with sand artificially piled up on one corner to provide a public place to splash and sunbathe. "I come early morning to walk my dog. The views are incredible. Some mornings it is just so quiet, you feel like the only person on earth. After the walk, and the dogs swim! It;s off up the track for breakfast. Come here in the afternoon and sit with a drink and watch everyone enjoying the lake and the facilities. On an evening, watch the sun go down," one enthusiastic fan of Valdearenas Beach wrote on Tripadvisor. There are plenty of reasons to plan a trip to Córdoba, not least that the area, enjoys over 300 days of sunshine throughout the year. The multiple religions, cultures, and civilizations that have lived in this fascinating city are reflected in its fascinating architecture and food.

The city was then taken by Christian forces in 1236 and integrated into the Kingdom of Castile. Other notable attractions include the Roman Bridge, built in the 1st century BC and reconstructed multiple times, and the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos, a medieval fortress and former residence of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II, which also served as a seat for the Spanish Inquisition.

Beautiful 'oasis' by holiday hotspot has tourist-free beach with crystal waters
If you're looking for a quiet bolthole away from the crowds in Sardinia but still want to make the most of the incredible coastline, then there's one hotel that needs to be on your radar While the White Lotus effect may have drawn more visitors to Sicily, Italy's second island Sardinia is also well worth exploring. With its untrammelled coastline, turquoise waters and lush landscape, it is the ideal alternative – whether you're lying by the beach, hiking over soaring cliffs or discovering the island's long-held traditions. You can do all of that from the Cala Cuncheddi, a secluded oasis of a hotel on the northeast of the island. Set among myrtle, centuries-old olive trees and Mediterranean scrub, and boasting its own private beach replete with golden sand and crystal-clear waters, it's just a 20-minute taxi from Olbia Costa Smeralda airport. Part of the VRetreats Italian hotel collection, which prides itself on offering stays set within historic buildings with a 'strong personality and sense of place', the hotel is an idyllic bolthole to escape from the busier, well-trodden resorts, but still well-situated enough for those who want to rent a car and explore. Style Renovated just over 10 years ago, this four-star property feels reminiscent of an upscale beach house and offers panoramic views from the poolside and many of the property's suites and rooms. Wildflower landscaping, rustic paving stones and nods to the traditions of Sardinia – think animal masks, mosaics and ocean-inspired installations – run throughout the hotel's grounds, providing a synergy between old and new, giving the experience a serene and calming air. Its infinity pool overlooking the glistening waters of Li Cuncheddi Bay is its calling card, but the hotel's 85 rooms and suites across three levels are beautifully designed to feel both contemporary and traditional with natural colour schemes, oak fixtures, and a mix of marble, Molteni&C and concrete furnishings. The majority have a sea view, while some have Moorish-style patios or verandas, and others overlook the gardens, the latter beautifully scented with native flowers and trees. The hotel also encompasses a fitness suite with Technogym equipment as well as its own spa, which extends past the private garden and on to the beach, with gazebos set up for guests to continue massages with beauty specialists. Food and drink The strong link to Sardinian tradition and culture takes you seamlessly from morning to night with tailored dining experiences. Asumari restaurant offers both an indoor space and seafront terrace giving its guests the opportunity to dine as the sun sets or even under the stars. Dishes here showcase the best of sea and land, with raw seafood platters, Olbia octopus and Rossini-style beef fillet just some of the options, while the saffron risotto with shrimp and squash blossoms is exquisite. By Asumari you'll also find an extensive wine cellar featuring not only Sardinian wines, but Italian elixirs, aperitifs and cooking oils to take home. Private gourmet dining and wine tasting can be arranged. Zinnibiri means juniper in Sardinian, and is also the name of the hotel's other restaurant. Set within the hotel garden with a view of the bay, it offers 'zero-km' dishes with traditional recipes given a contemporary edge. Save the best until last and try seadas, a crisp, deep fried pastry filled with lemon, oozing cheese and soaked in honey. And over at the pool bar, you'll be well looked after too, whether it's smoothies, iced coffees or light snacks in the day, or a sunset cocktail or aperitif come evening. The terrace leading on from reception is also a perfect spot to watch the sunset – and enjoy a spritz. While you're there The best way to explore the island's azure blue waters, granite cliffs and numerous caves is by jumping on a boat. A short drive away to Olbia's port and we met with our skipper for the day and sailed out towards Capo Ceraso, admiring the stunning inlets, bays and majestic cliffs of Capo Figari. A notable stop-off and first opportunity for a quick dip came courtesy of 'Doctor's Beach', a small cove next to the beach of Porto Istana, which can only be reached by boat or land, the latter a good 30-minute trek on foot. We continued towards Isola Cavalli and Isola Piana to explore the crystal-clear waters of these two small islands, before heading around Tavolara, a tiny island with a larger-than-life claim to fame – the self-proclaimed Kingdom of Tavolara. In 1806, Giuseppe Bertoleoni arrived on the then-uninhabited island, establishing his reign – a claim so convincing he was acknowledged by the King of Sardinia in 1836. Anchoring at Cala Spalmatore di Terra for a lunch prepared by the skipper's family, and encompassing canapés, cold cuts, cheeses and traditional Sardinian sweets, there can't be a more idyllic spot to have a bite to eat as you overlook the bays and beautiful beach with fine white sand. A last stop at Molara, part of the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo, with its famous 'piscine' (natural pools), and it's back to port having explored some of Sardinia's gorgeous coastline. A day out A Jeep tour of the Barbagia area can be arranged from the hotel, stopping at various scenic viewpoints and ancient points of interest. We were whisked away to discover the wild beauty of Su Gologone, a mountain spring with crystal-clear waters perched beneath limestone cliffs, took in the awe-inspiring views of the Supramonte mountain range, and stopped off in the town of Orgosolo. It's well worth taking a pit stop here and looking at the town's walls, many of which feature intricate murals telling the story of Sardinian life, culture and politics. Lunch was alfresco with shepherds, with everything from locally made salami and cheese, to roasted pork cooked on a spit in front of you and traditional breads lovingly dished up and washed back with local red wines and potent digestives. Rounded off with a traditional dance courtesy of our hosts, this was a true taste of Sardinian culture. Book the holiday Flights to Olbia Costa Smeralda airport in Sardinia are available from Birmingham, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Heathrow, London City, Luton, Manchester and Stansted. Rooms at the Hotel Cala Cuncheddi near Olbia start at around £210 a night B&B.

Oscar-winning actor Gary Oldman given knighthood in King's Birthday Honours
The London-born film star, 67, is known for his versatile acting style having portrayed a range of figures, from former prime minister Sir Winston Churchill to Sex Pistols member Sid Vicious. He started out on the stage and performed in productions at the York Theatre Royal, which he recently returned to in a staging of the Samuel Beckett play Krapp's Last Tape. One of his more recent and most recognisable roles is as veteran MI5 agent Jackson Lamb in Apple TV's Slow Horses, based on the Slough House book series by British writer Mick Herron. Late last year he won the performance of the year gong at the 63rd Rose d'Or Awards for his role as Lamb, an unhygienic, ill-mannered individual, who has 'no vanity' and 'doesn't give an eff', according to Sir Gary. Born on March 21 1958, a young Sir Gary toyed with the idea of becoming a musician but changed his mind after watching a Malcolm McDowell film. He was turned down by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada), but gained a place studying acting at the Rose Bruford College, which he graduated from in 1979. He became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), starring in productions that included 1985's Abel And Cain at London's Almeida Theatre and first came to public attention in films including Remembrance (1982) and Sid And Nancy (1986), which saw him play the notorious punk rock star. In the early 1990s he played Lee Harvey Oswald, alleged assassin of US president John F Kennedy, in 1991's JFK and the titular vampire in Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992. Other notable roles included Ludwig van Beethoven in Immortal Beloved (1994) and Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg in The Fifth Element (1997). His directorial debut, a semi-autobiographical piece about his childhood titled Nil By Mouth, was released in 1997 and lauded as a brilliant but gut-wrenchingly emotional film. The acclaimed film earned him Baftas for outstanding British film and best original screenplay in 1998. Across the noughties and into the 2010s he appeared in some of the Harry Potter films as Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, and also starred as Gotham City Police lieutenant Jim Gordon, in Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). He was lauded for his role playing George Smiley in 2011 film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which saw him earn Bafta and Oscar nods. He was unable to secure the leading actor gongs, however, until his role in The Darkest Hour which saw him sweep the 2018 awards season, winning an Academy Award, Bafta and more. Upon winning his Oscar, for playing wartime leader Sir Winston, Sir Gary appeared emotional and thanked 'the Academy and its members for this glorious prize' as well as his colleagues, his wife and family in a lengthy speech. Sir Gary has three sons, Alfie whom he shares with ex-wife Lesley Manville, and Gulliver and Charlie, whose mother is his former wife Donya Fiorentino. The actor, whose sister is former EastEnders actress Laila Morse, has been married to Gisele Schmidt since 2017 and was previously married to Hollywood actress Uma Thurman and singer Alexandra Edenborough.
