Scotland: Let me introduce myself

With over a third of the UK landmass, but populated by a mere 8% of the UK’s population, Scotland has more natural space and wilderness than practically any other European country.

We can boast the UK’s highest mountains and deepest lochs, as well as large and accessible tracts of forest and unspoilt moorland. Scotland also has one of the longest coastlines in Europe - an incredible 6,000 miles (9,700 kilometres) of shoreline from rugged cliffs to pearl-white beaches, with 790 islands dotted along the coast.

The national Scottish Locations Service at Creative Scotland offers you a fast, free, confidential and informative service to facilitate your project, whether it’s a feature film or a stills shoot.

We have the longest daylight hours in the UK with up to 18 hours of daylight at midsummer, ensuring days that are made for longer shooting. Our range of locations is endless, from the prehistoric through to contemporary cityscapes. That’s before we even start on the thousands of castles, the mansion houses and famous Scottish hospitality.

As a canvas, we think Scotland has everything you need.
