Where does Scotland come in?
Among the filming locations for The Princess Switch: Switched Again were Glasgow Cathedral, as well as Edinburgh Gateway train station, which was transformed into an airport. The exterior of Mimi's Bakehouse in Leith became a festive-looking cake shop.
Glasgow Cathedral is a popular spot.
Indeed. The hit TV series Outlander and Netflix's Robert the Bruce biopic, Outlaw King, have shot there in recent years. The area around Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis was used for scenes in upcoming superhero blockbuster The Batman.
