Location Scouting Service

Are you looking for a location in Glasgow or any of its surrounding areas for filming a movie, a TV series or an advert? Are you looking for a specific or a distinctive location for a photoshoot? If so, This Is My Glasgow can help. Glasgow has a range of architecture which is unrivalled by almost any other city in the world, and it is this that allows it to stand in for many other locations. This includes stunning Victorian buildings, through gothic, art nouveau, art deco, modern and brutalist architecture, to the futuristic structures of its waterfront. It also has many other interesting locations ranging from post-industrial streetscapes and overgrown cemeteries to abandoned railway tunnels, decaying former psychiatric hospitals, canals, rivers, tree-lined avenues and many different parks, all of which can provide interesting locations for filming or for a photoshoot.

You can get an idea of the range of locations Glasgow has to offer through the This Is My Glasgow social media channels, where we regularly post photographs from around the city. You can find it on Instagram (@thisismyglasgow), Facebook (@thisismyglasgow), Twitter (@is_glasgow), Mastodon (@thisismyglasgow@mastodon.scot), Bluesky (thisismyglasgow.bsky.social) and Threads (@thisismyglasgow). 

Beyond the city itself, the surrounding regions of western and central Scotland, and the mountains and islands of the West Highlands are all within easy reach, giving access to an amazing range of locations to suit almost any imaginable requirements including castles, beaches, gorges, mountains and ruins.

As a keen photographer, author, urban explorer and mountain climber, Colin M. Drysdale have an extensive knowledge of potential locations both within Glasgow and across western and central Scotland and into the West Highland and islands of the Clyde and the Hebrides, so no matter what you are looking for, he can help you find it.
