How did Scotland become a Hollywood hotspot?

This is a more complicated issue.

A regular concern when massive productions take over parts of the city is whether the disruption negatively hits local businesses.

When the Batgirl film was axed, Glasgow City Council told the Daily Record that the production still provided “a very significant economic benefit” for the wider city.

However, businesses in areas where filming occurred were less convinced, telling the BBC at the time that their trade had been adversely affected.

The Social Recluse clothing shop on King Street in the Trongate area was given £1,000 in compensation after having to close for 10 days for filming – something staff said didn’t make up for a “wasted month”.

Other productions, such as Indiana Jones and the Running Man remake, have seen swathes of Glasgow altered and streets and roads blocked off, raising the question of whether those being directly affected are actually seeing any benefits.

Dr Ewelina Lacka, of the Business School at the University of Edinburgh, told BBC Scotland News that economic benefits of films in Scotland were a “mixed perspective”, particularly in regards to tourism.

She explained: “It’s not only the film being made there but whether are certain conditions met, mainly related to destination management and marketing.

“It highlights the importance of something like Visit Scotland, in having a marketing strategy implemented before and after filming.”
