Scottish Film Industry failing
— Posted by

The Scottish Film Industry is dying according to an article in The Herald.
That’s quite a blow, but for me what is more hurtful is that movies such as Burns are struggling for money to get made, and Mary Queen of Scots and the recently announced Macbeth are not going to be filmed in Scotland at all, the country in which they are set. The Macbeth film looks set to film in the Isle of Man
It’s a sad time for Scottish Film, when we can produce such great movies as Local Hero, Trainspotting, Dear Frankie, and have such great locations such as Dunnottar Castle used in Gibson’s Hamlet. It’s heart aching for me being born and bred in this beautiful country that true Scottish movies are being filmed in other countries, and away from their real life locations. The Government need to realise that spending the money can bring it back in, and attracting movies to Scotland, particularly those about and set in the country, will help with tourism and trade. Any fellow Scots feel the same? Do you have similar problems in your country? This post was written by :
