What is the name of the island in Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man?

The island in Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man is called Summerisle.

Summerisle is a fictional Scottish island visited by police sergeant Neil Howie while he investigates the disappearance of a young girl. The island’s residents follow a form of paganism that sharply contrasts with Howie’s devout Christian beliefs.

The 1973 film stars Edward Woodward as Howie, Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle, and Britt Ekland as Willow. Its story builds toward a ritual associated with the island’s May Day celebrations and its agricultural beliefs.

The Wicker Man is sometimes confused with later films that borrow its title or imagery. Robin Hardy’s original is the 1973 British film, while The Wicker Man starring Nicolas Cage is a 2006 remake with a different setting and story details. Summerisle itself is fictional, although the film draws on real folklore and pagan traditions.
