Scotland hosts film and television projects that need practical support beyond the camera department. Production offices, temporary accommodation and locations all have different cleaning demands. Here are confirmed examples from Scotland’s screen industry, followed by a useful cleaning brief for production teams.
2026 production news: what is confirmed?
Screen Scotland’s Dept. Q training programme states that the second series is filming in Scotland in 2026. Its production page also records filming for the series in Edinburgh and at FirstStage Studios. These sources confirm the Scottish production connection; they do not establish that a particular location is filming today.
Read the Dept. Q training announcement and production profile. Public filming schedules can change, so this article does not publish live unit locations or private accommodation details.
Productions already made in Scotland
Screen Scotland’s 2026 showreel includes Outlander: Blood of My Blood, Dept. Q, Half Man, California Schemin’ and Glenrothan. Its 2025 showreel also features Frankenstein, The Running Man, One Day, The Rig and Shetland. These are examples of Scotland’s screen work, not a list of productions currently shooting.

Production offices: plan around the working day
Specify kitchens, canteens, toilets, bins and desk areas separately. Agree what can be touched, which rooms have restricted access and how confidential material is protected. Daily high-use areas may need a different schedule from quieter rooms. Provide realistic staffing hours instead of treating a whole studio as a standard office clean.
Cast and crew apartments
Coordinate housekeeping with authorised access, resident preferences and departure dates. Agree beds, towels, linen quantities and reporting channels. Teams should protect privacy and avoid sharing resident names, door codes or images of personal belongings. Tell us whether a visit is a mid-stay clean or a full changeover.
Locations before filming and after wrap
Confirm the agreed areas with the location team before work starts. Props, dressing and continuity-sensitive items should only be handled with permission. A post-wrap handover should follow the approved scope and access arrangements; specialist waste, hazardous materials and repairs require separate arrangements.
Matt Liam has experience supporting Outlander-related cast and crew accommodation, as described in our film and TV cleaning service. For a production brief, send the addresses, dates, room schedule, access restrictions and contact authorised to approve extra work. Routine coverage is approximately five miles around Blythswood Street, Glasgow, and three miles around Canonmills, Edinburgh; other location enquiries require individual confirmation.
