ACCESSIBILTY

Glasgow is fast becoming the international film makers location of choice given the relative inexpense of filming there. Inverclyde, on the outskirts of Glasgow with its wild landscapes and industrial heritage is equal to, if not better than, the city centre in terms of what it has to offer.

Ardgowan is situated at the heart of Inverclyde and is only 45 minutes from Glasgow city centre and 90 minutes from Edinburgh city centre. It is 35 minutes from Glasgow Airport and 55 minutes from Prestwick Airport.

Each booking comes with the guarantee of exclusivity which gives Ardgowan that rare combination of beauty, privacy and accessibility to help you get the job done quickly and efficiently.

TO SET THE SCENE...

From pictursque river parkland and manicure gardens to wooded beaches and moorland lochs, the Estate has an extraordinary array of versatile exterior locations spread over 10,000 acres, all of which lend themselves well to filming and photography projects.

The unique character of the landscape is matched by the interiors of the 18th century, 76 room house, its stable block and cottages, all in various states of delapidation and rennovation meaning that only minimal dressing in necessary.

The combination of a diverse portfolio of locations, all in close proximity to one another and easily accessible, combined with a competitive price model make Ardgowan a popular choice with filmmakers.
