The oldest purpose built cinema in Scotland it was originally opened in 1912. It is brilliant venue for any movie any day of the week and plays a key role in the artistic life of the town and Scotland as a whole. A visit to the annual Hipfest Festival of Silent Cinema should be on everyone’s bucket list. Bo’ness is such a lovely town too with loads of independent shops and great cafes pubs and restaurants. Fabulous views over the Forth and great walks too. The cinema and the town are national treasures that don’t always get the love they deserve. · via Google [Simon Jay](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112931192162670732937/reviews) ★★★★★ Had an exceptional visit to this incredibly unique venue. The oldest surviving cinema in Scotland! Beautifully refurbished piece of local history that’s also a functioning cinema and venue hire. I mean if you were going to the pictures - wouldn’t you want to pick the most amazing art deco venue!!! It’s worth travelling from Edinburgh to go and see (like me) honestly - a brilliant place, friendly and knowledgable staff, and great seating - you’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time :D Priceless!!! · via Google [Jack Manchester](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117754000756114477391/reviews) ★★★★★ A fantastic historic cinema. It's like going back in time. A beautiful building, well preserved and run by the council. Expect the latest movies and interesting indie titles too. Excellent programming of events; Hippfest brings back silent movies with live music, to appreciate a lost art form and experience how things were when the place opened back in 1912. · via Google [C Shanky](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112666585099739904944/reviews) ★★★★★ Gem of a place. Visited this place for a wee whisky taster session and watch the old classic "Whisky Galore ". If you live close to Edinburgh this place is well worth a visit with prices a lot cheaper than your local Odeon. It's the oldest cinema in Scotland dating back to 1912, and has lovely art deco feel about it. Definitely will be back for another visit soon. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4887d652cec1d4cf:0xd8cbc43aa87bb017!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this cinema offers a variety of entertainment, including special screenings, the latest movies, and interesting indie titles.
