Autograph and selfie hunters have been out on force, with some local residents having their pictures taken with director Danny Boyle.

The Herald:

McGregor, who plays Renton, and Bremner, Spud, were seen queuing for lunch with crew members and being greeted by Boyle who seemed overwhelmed on what is thought to be McGregor’s first day of filming.

The crew have taken over a block of flats for the shoot.
