It is the place where the Wild West meets the North East with bizarre results.
And now, Tranquiliity – near Huntly, obviously – is to be used as the backdrop for a very strange new vampire drama.
The cowboy-themed attraction in Aberdeenshire is hoping to solidify its reputation as a filming location with camera crews set to arrive for the drama involving Scotland’s national poet.
Tranquility, outside of Huntly, has already played host to the cameras several times- most recently for a CBEEBIES documentary on the Highland Clearances due for broadcast later this month.
The staff have also saddled up for their own short films- Trail to Tranquility and Trouble Again in Tranquility- which were previewed at Aberdeen’s Belmont Cinema last November.
But the latest film may just be the most unusual- telling the tale of a blood-sucking Robert Burns.
Alistair Baranowski, who founded the village in 2005, said: “The new film “Burns Night” is one of a series under the title “Caledonia”, a supernatural web series.
“What follows is background blurb but put simply it involves the afterlife of our national bard, Robbie Burns, in which he has become a vampire living in Minnesota of the 1870’s.
“The story of Robert and Desdemona was inspired by an early love in Burns’ history, Alison Begbie.
“She lived in Cessnock Banks and he proposed marriage to her, but she turned him down.
“One of the nights he was late coming home because he had been visiting her, his excuse to his father was that he had ‘met the Devil on the road’.
“This sequence of the story is to be filmed here at Tranquility on February 1.
“As far as I know most of the rest of the film is being filmed in Ayrshire around his old home (now a museum) for which they have special permission to film inside.”
And just before the latest filming, the staff will have the chance to see themselves in the CBEEBIES documentary, filmed in October, on January 21.
Mr Baranowski said: “Basically we are becoming better known among the filming world.”
