Your Boots on
Scottish Ground.

Most filming on the Isle of Skye requires permission from the landowner and in some cases a NatureScot access agreement, particularly for sensitive sites like the Quiraing and Old Man of Storr. Road-based filming may also require Highland Council permits.

The good news is Scotland has well-established permit routes for all these locations and we manage the entire process on your behalf, including NatureScot, landowner agreements, and any necessary road closure notices.

The UK Film Tax Credit (IFTC) offers qualifying films up to 53% on UK-qualifying expenditure. For US productions shooting in Scotland, all spend on UK crew, locations, equipment and services qualifies. The minimum UK core expenditure threshold is £1.5m.

High-End TV productions (budget above £1m per broadcast hour) can access HETV Relief of up to 39%. All Scotland spend fully qualifies. We can connect you with accredited UK accountants who handle the BFI certification process.

May through September offers the best conditions, long golden-hour days, lower rainfall, and access to remote locations. June and July light is extraordinary: blue hour runs late into the evening. Autumn gives dramatic moody skies and rich colour.

Winter filming is visually stunning but requires more planning for short daylight windows and access to some remote sites. Every season has its look, the right choice depends on the brief.
