Bryan Mitchell:
It's simply because LCN51 GREAT! movies classic is carried on Local Multiplexes.
See Channel listings for Industry Professionals | Freeview for which channels are carried on which multiplex.
Local multiplexes are only transmitted from a limited number of main transmitters and in most cases the signals are beamed towards the large urban conurbations that they were set up to serve. There is no Local multiplex at Rosemarkie or any other transmitter in the region that you might be able to get some signals from.
Nevertheless Rosemarkie will give you very good reception and is the best one for you.
