The Scottish Locations Network (SLN) – a dedicated network of film commissions and council based film liaison officers – has been responsible for millions of pounds of inward investment into Scotland, proving itself as a key component of the wider UK film and television industry. Film commissions are driven by local aims but due to the worldwide nature of the film and television industry, must have a national and international outlook. The existence of the SLN has meant that a cohesive global marketing of Scotland has been possible; the entire network works in conjunction to deliver a clear message that Scotland is ‘film-friendly’ and capable. Working in partnership with British Film Institute (BFI), British Film Commission (BFC), Creative England, Film London, Northern Ireland Screen, Wales Screen Commission, regional screen offices and Creative Scotland Locations Department, the SLN helps maintain the reputation of the United Kingdom in the international film and television production industry. This partnership is crucial in encouraging a genuine spread of production activity across the UK and ensures that Scotland has ample opportunity to showcase itself as a viable production base.
