Edinburgh attracts the Film and Television Industry

Scotland on the Silver Screen

Edinburgh’s economy saw an increase in the income from films and the television industry in 2009. The number of days spent filming rose by ten per cent. Local businesses especially those providing nourishment and shelter benefit from each film and television production the city attracts, the spend in 2009 was £4.2 million. During 2009 there were 4 films (Outcast, Imogene, Cosi and The Whicker Tree), three television productions, two documentaries, two commercials and four entertainment shows shot in and around Edinburgh.

The old city centre streets and buildings provide an excellent location with Abercromby Place, and Heriot Row and William Street appearing in productions. East Lothian and Midlothian have also proved popular locations for mansions and grounds. Watch carefully the next time you are watching a film or television programme and don’t but surprised if you catch a glimpse of the familiar.

The Free Fringe Festival - the return of spontaniety.

Free Comedy at the Edinburgh Festival

Arguably, the real, original fun of the Edinburgh Fringe lies in spontaneity. Picture this: while wandering aimlessly down the Royal Mile you are accosted by a man in 16th century period dress pointing you towards his comedy on Sir Walter Raleigh at the underbelly, on the way you are given a leaflet to go to a silent movie atop Carlton Hill, live, and complete with a 22 peace orchestra. You couldn’t make it up.

 
Edinburgh weathering out the Credit Crunch

How Scotland’s Capital continues to Thrive!

The City of Edinburgh is increasingly well known for being both a financial institution and a global tourism hotspot. These industries have continued to see growth despite the ‘credit crunch’.

Edinburgh continues to be considered a key centre for financial growth and has proven to be an ideal city for a business to develop, both on the high street, with up and coming chains such as Urban Outfitters opening up alongside old favourites like Primark, and in the business sector - the headquarters of Tesco Personal Finance, attracted to the Nation’s Capital, recently relocated to Haymarket, creating two hundred jobs.

 
Edinburgh Fringe Festival Ticket Sales 2009

How the Fringe just keeps getting Better

During 2009 the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ticket sales hit a record high of more than 1.85m tickets sold for the event; a sales increase of 9% from the previous year. The reason for this surge in sales is because many people decided to holiday in the UK rather than going on holidays abroad due to the recession. For many 2009 was the best festival in 20 years.
