Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 07/23/2019
It's very funny and, with this as a start, we hope the two will pay their disrespects to other film classics; Laurel and Hardy as G-Men, or Laurel and Hardy calling on the House of Rothschild. Go to Full Review Steve Crum Video-Reviewmaster.com 04/23/2007

05/07/2019 One of the weaker of the Laurel & Hardy features, although at least they get more screentime than in Fra Diavolo, say. The gags are either overworked (Stan failing to march in time) or underwhelming (a choreographed litter-picking). The romantic plot is completely uninteresting, and the whole thing is deservedly forgotten now. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 09/27/2017 Bonnie Scotland is a funny film. It is about Stan and Ollie mistakenly enlist in the Scottish army. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy give terrific performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Jame W. Horne did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the humor. Bonnie Scotland is a must see. See more 02/05/2013 Got to love Laurel and Hardy. There is nothing that amazing about this film but all the same their blunders and mishaps still entertain. First they are in Scotland and then trying to cope in a Scottish regiment. This plot seemed somewhat similar to Flying Deuces but I don't mind that much See more 02/03/2013 There's lots of fun to be had here with a number of clever gags and well-written dialogue. The sub-plot is well-enough handled to not bog down Laurel and Hardy's momentum too much. See more 01/26/2011 stan n ollie bring tha funny from what i've heard this was their personal fave of their movies myself i still love the music box and those iconic stairs! See more 01/08/2010 This is probably my favorite movie by Laurel & Hardy. Though some of it is waaaay to outdated for me. But I do realize it was made in another time. Still I don't think there has been a better comedy duo than this in all of history. These two actually had a strong friendship both on and off the screen. The first half is an absolute delight. Laughs and smiles all the way. The second half is still very funny and entertaining but the outdated views of foreign countries ruin some of its charm. Still an absolute delight.
