David Tenant, Michael Sheen, and Jon Hamm have all been spotted on the streets of Edinburgh in January 2022, filming for the second season of Good Omens.
However, they are far from the first to use the Scottish capital as the backdrop for their production.
Hundreds of films and TV shows have been filmed on Edinburgh’s cobbled streets over the years.
The Scottish screen sector has been boosted to more than £250 million a year by recent ventures like Outlander, Marvel’s Avengers, and more.
The most popular filming locations in Edinburgh are ones that you have likely walked down, shopped at, or eaten in front of yourself.
Here are ten of the most popular filming location in Edinburgh, so you can see which fictional stories were filmed in our capital.

9. Grassmarket
Grassmarket was another prime location in Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, where Maggie Smith taught her class another lesson. In addition, James McAvoy teases a child in the graveyard as Bruce Robertson in Filth on that very street. Photo: kippiss / Getty Images / Canva Pro

10. Mound Place
Mound Place offers gorgeous views of the city, which means it's grabbed the attention of movie producers for years. Chariots of Fire filmed Eric hurrying to a religious meeting there, and a pipe marching band accompanies James Mason's Professor Lindenbrook along the street in Journey to the Centre of the Earth all the way back in 1959.
