Overview
About Scottish Location Services
Scottish Location Services is a specialist film and television security provider based in Auchterarder, supporting productions across Scotland. Its core work is production-aware security that integrates with location teams, helping protect cast, crew, equipment, vehicles and filming locations in urban, rural and remote settings. The company provides on-set, unit-base, vehicle and overnight security, as well as equipment protection, crowd control and public-interface support. Its guards are described as carefully vetted, SIA-licensed and trained for film and television environments, with health and safety support shaped around each location and set. This makes the service relevant to feature films, high-end television, commercials, reality series and productions working to demanding schedules. Location management and scouting are delivered through Tim Maskell, an experienced location professional with more than 20 years in film and television. Support includes finding and assessing locations, liaising with landowners, councils and residents, helping with permits and permissions, and coordinating access, parking, unit bases and other practical logistics. The business also offers motorhome hire as a supporting service, providing comfortable mobile spaces for cast and crew, hair and make-up, rest periods and production workspaces. Mini Winnies and motorhomes can support studio, city, rural and remote shoots, while related location equipment and gator hire help crews manage challenging sites. Production teams looking for a calm, integrated partner can draw on security, location expertise and practical on-location support through one Scottish provider.
