Lordly Stag, Classic Castles And Fine Single Malts – WildOpenEye’s Filming In Scotland Going Well!

Andy and Jerry's progress through Scotland

By Charles Paxton

Andy Luck and Jerry Short of WildOpenEye are zooming around Scotland at the moment on a three week filming expedition for Visit Britain 2012.

On the drive up from Bristol, they stopped over in my corner of Westmorland for a jolly evening at our community pub The Butchers Arms, which furnished a restorative feast of melt-in-the-mouth local lamb and tattie pot with the best real ale I think I’ve ever had – Hesket Newmarket Brewery’s “Doris’ 90th Birthday Ale”.  Anyway after filming an interview with me they drove north for the border.

I’ve heard things are going very well, so far. It’s gloriously photogenic country and they have a comprehensive itinerary, they’ve filmed in Edinburgh – our “Athens of the north”, historic Stirling with its exemplary Scottish castle and are now busy in Braemar, exploring the stunning country of Royal Deeside.

They’ve had their first snowfall, a close encounter with a lordly staggard and some very fine single malt whisky. It’s a working trip and they have their hands full of filming gear and are pretty preoccupied with the filming, but where feasible, they’ll take some stills to share with us.
