THE LANDSCAPE of Argyll and Bute is to play a leading role in supporting the area’s economy by attracting investment through film production and tourism. At its recent meeting (March 8), the council’s environment, development and infrastructure committee endorsed plans to develop Argyll and Bute as a leading location for films and their related tourism. This follows on from more than £1.3 million of film-related investment attracted to the area in 2017.
Two feature films and a television series, currently confidential, are expected to be broadcast later this year.
The council launched a website dedicated to the screen industries – www.filminargyll.co.uk
