Film & TV Production Transport in Edinburgh
Scotland's Capital. Festival City.
Edinburgh's Old and New Town give it some of the most filmed period streets in Britain, and FirstStage Studios has added genuine soundstage capacity - Film Unit Car runs cast, crew and equipment across the city, with the same fleet and booking process as our London work.
Edinburgh Combines Period Streets With a Working Studio
Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Old and New Town give productions genuinely unaltered period streets, while FirstStage Studios has brought dedicated soundstage capacity to the city for the first time at this scale.
An Edinburgh call sheet can move between a FirstStage studio call, an Old Town cobbled-street exterior and a cast hotel in the New Town, each with its own tourist footfall and vehicle-access realities, especially during the Festival season.
When an Edinburgh production also needs the Home Counties studio belt or a London leg, we arrange that as a dedicated connection, using the fleet and drivers that already work London and the Home Counties daily.

Getting Cast & Crew To and From Edinburgh
Edinburgh Airport sits around 8 miles west of the city centre and is the practical arrivals point for most Edinburgh productions - we run meet-and-greet collections there, coordinated against your call sheet.
For international cast or crew connecting via London, or a production splitting time between Edinburgh and the Home Counties studio belt, we also cover every London airport as part of the same booking.
Studio Access From Edinburgh
FirstStage Studios is a genuine dedicated soundstage facility in Edinburgh itself, and we run regular transfers there as part of day-to-day Edinburgh bookings.
When a production needs one of the established Home Counties studios, that's a genuine long-distance leg - several hours by road or a short flight - and we're upfront about that. We arrange it as a dedicated booking, using the same fleet that already works those studios daily.
