On the Road Again

Some inspiration
Glasgow is a city that like any other is teaming with stereotypes such as violence and the whole concept that everyone is ginger, wearing a kilt and have a belly full of haggis 24/7 and although this is quite possibly true for the very slim minority, i believe Glasgow has a lot to offer the film world

I watched a show this week which is part of the series 'Hit the road Jack' where comedian Jack Whitehall visits various places over Britain to uncover the culture and how the locals live.  Of course no comedians show is complete without the odd joke to poke fun at the residents. 
This weeks episode was the turn of Glasgow.  I've included the link below to let you have a look and make your own opinion of the city. 


However...
Don't be in any way put off by the references to Glasgows' violent nature, (Yes I mean the Buckfast crime reference) instead focus on the success that has came from Scotland for example actors John Hannah and Greg McHugh or the band 'The Vaccines' who all featured on the show. 
Ive provided an advert below for 'Visit Scotland' so you can restore faith in Scotland and focus more on the locals passion, pride in nationality, historical culture and the picturesque landscape.



Perhaps you'll even choose Glasgow as the next location choice for your film production.
