Highlights included series 2 of HBO’s Succession shooting on location in Dundee – including a memorable scene inside V&A Dundee - and Perthshire. It has since picked up Golden Globes for the series and its star, Dundonian Brian Cox.

Such a high screen presence has also helped to boost tourism, with productions like Outlander and The Outlaw King drawing fans to the area to visit film locations and the historic places depicted on-screen.

New productions including Mr Jones and Traces are also helping to promote the region for tourism.

Film and TV production in the area has also resulted in increased numbers of jobs and business opportunities for everyone from crew to accommodation and catering. Similarly, diverse activities, services and products that are featured in the productions, like golf, windsurfing, food and drink have also boosted the local economy.

Councillor Mark Flynn, depute convener of city development at Dundee City Council, said: “Screen production has such a great impact on raising the profile of the area so it’s brilliant to see the region’s popularity for all kinds of media production including film and TV continuing to grow.

“We are all delighted that Golden Globes were awarded to HBO’s Succession with Series 2 featuring locations in Dundee and Perthshire and, of course, starring Dundee’s own Brian Cox. With all the work on the Tay Cities Tourism Strategy, it’s absolutely putting the spotlight on the region.

“The success we are enjoying is down to persistence, to the amazing and iconic locations we have and above all to the warm and highly professional welcome that productions encounter from everyone from location owners and council services to universities, colleges and crew.”

Regional screen office FifeScreen+TayScreen serves the councils of Dundee, Fife and Perth & Kinross. The office promotes the region to attract production and supports both production and development of the sector helping source locations, services and crew.

The office’s latest annual review shows that, during 2018/19, production benefited the region to the tune of £5m, and the signs are even better for 2019/20.
