When Shawn mentions a ghost dog haunting a sandy bay he really is referring to Hound Point which is part of the grounds of the nearby Dalmeny House, which is so-called because of the legend states of when one of the first lords of Dalmeny set off to fight in the Crusades, leaving his beloved hunting-hound behind. At the moment the man was killed, the hound began howling uncontrollably, eventually dying of its grief. Ever since, the howling ghost of the hound is said to appear on the Point whenever the present lord is about to die.
The odd structure that Shawn is standing on as the sun goes down is the ruin of an old netting station that remains as a tidal island in Peatdraught Bay.
The scene where Shawn steps on a plug was done in anticipation of him hurting his foot during production with it resulting in a limp during the running scenes.
Shot entirely in natural light.
With all of the running involved in playing the role Shawn Watson realized how unfit he was and took up running as a new form of exercise.
