Filming & Media in Scotland's Castles and Houses

Scotland’s historic homes have long been sought after as locations for movies or media shoots. LTR has assisted in a number of these.

Manderston in Berwickshire has recently been host to a long running TV series. We have also assisted in photo shoots for fashion or other companies e.g. BMW who use the venues as backdrops to promote their products. Of course the homes offer a lot more than this and often local characters, livestock and other estate features are utilised in the shoots.

LTR assists in not only arranging all the accommodation and catering but also in any other specialist needs that the production company may have. This often involves finding certain ‘props’ or local people to model.

Media companies find it useful to use LTR as their local ‘eyes and ears’ and to capitalise on our local knowledge. Many of the properties are wary of media companies and sometimes our role as the intermediary has proved very helpful to both sides. Again when something very specific is required, we are often called upon to source a property with a certain style, look or contents.

LTR works closely with location scouts in all the above key areas and has a proven record of helping to smooth out often complex logistics.

The settings and geography on offer in Scotland offer companies a fantastic opportunity for authentic filming. The properties offer privacy and security and usually come with long driveways, excellent parking facilities and often extensive floodlighting. Some have had installed additional power lines and usually because of their agricultural interests are well placed to assist with technical issues.

The LTR portfolio offers a glimpse into the past and for media companies seeking to recreate the golden age of Scottish stately homes, they need look no further.
