The "evil eye" rowing boat, which takes Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) to and from his plane, was not constructed for this movie. It belonged to a resident of Plockton. Upon seeing it, the producers decided it would suit the movie. The boat survived until 2004 when it was destroyed in a storm.
Sir Christopher Lee said that he considers this to be one of his greatest ever roles.
Many years after making the film Edward Woodward re-visited some of the locations and claimed that he found the makeshift cross (that Howie makes out of some pieces of wood) still intact where it was left in the original scene.
Director Robin Hardy explained the meaning of the scene with the woman with an egg in her hand nursing a baby while sitting in a graveyard to Alan Cumming in Scotland on Screen (2009). According to Hardy, it is a fertility ritual and she was hoping for another baby.
Sir Christopher Lee paid for his own press tour out of pocket, and hit every stop willing to interview him about the movie. According to rumor, some farmers in Iowa were surprised to see him on live, early morning public access shows.

"Sergeant Howie: What religion can they possibly be learning jumping over bonfires? Lord Summerisle: Parthenogenesis. Sergeant Howie: What? Lord Summerisle: Literally, as Miss Rose would doubtless say in her assiduous way, reproduction without sexual union. Sergeant Howie: Oh, what is all this? I mean, you've got fake biology, fake religion... Sir, have these children never heard of Jesus? Lord Summerisle: Himself the son of a virgin, impregnated, I believe, by a ghost..."
