Getting Film & TV Back in Action

Following the writers’ strikes in the UK, the production of TV and film is beginning to get back in action. The luscious landscape of our beautiful country, Scotland, will return to the big screen soon.

Thanks to the vast and impressive scenery and backdrops in the highlands and authentic, historic architecture of our cities such as Glasgow and Edinburgh, Scotland is, unsurprisingly, a hotspot filming location – and aren’t we all so proud when we get to show off this wonderful country?
