The Highlands really is the Scotland of your imagination – a beautiful and inspiring region of ancient landscapes with fascinating history. Whichever part of the Highlands you choose to visit, you will be assured of one thing – a genuine, warm Scottish welcome!
The Highland Council does not issue filming permits. Please read the Code of Practice or contact the Highland Film Commission directly to clarify what permissions and agreements you will need in order to carry out your filming project in the Highlands.
Please read our Road Filming Guidance page here
The Highlands of Scotland Film Commission works with our Scottish partners Creative Scotland and UK partners British Film Institute to offer a package of support for film productions coming to the area.
Creative Scotland distributes funding for the arts, screen and creative industries from two primary sources, the Scottish Government and the National Lottery. This funding is the means by which they support a portfolio of organisations across Scotland, as well as how they help with the development of individuals, the funding of ideas, new work and projects, and how they deliver specific activity with partners.
In December 2017, proposals for a Screen Unit within Creative Scotland were approved, following the announcement of a doubling of resources for the Screen Sector in Scotland from £10m per annum to £20m per annum. In August 2018, we revealed the new identity for Screen Scotland – the dedicated partnership for screen in Scotland, delivering enhanced support for all aspects of Scotland’s screen sector
