Fife may not be the first place you think of to film a movie, but the region has had its fair share of screen time.
From Avengers to Outlander, it has become a magnet for film crews.
In fact, more than 100 different productions were filmed in Fife and Tayside last year alone – bringing a £5.4 million boost to the area.
And with a new “cheesy” Christmas movie shot in Fife and Perthshire going down a storm with viewers, perhaps there could be more around the corner?
