You wouldn't know it from its numerous screen adaptations, but Scotland runs right through Frankenstein.
It was central to the 1818 novel's inception and sections of the story play out across the length of the nation.
After hundreds of film adaptations, Scotland finally makes it onto the big screen in Guillermo Del Toro's new take on the book, with the Royal Mile, Glasgow Cathedral and Aberdeenshire serving as locations for the Mexican director's vision of the 200-year-old story.
According to the filmmakers, the Scottish places they chose to shoot late last year helped shape the very way they told their tale.
But to understand Scotland's place in Frankenstein, we have to travel back to a villa on the shores of Lake Geneva in the summer of 1816.
