Cathkin Park - Movie Star!

For the second time this year Cathkin has been home to the Scottish film industry, acting as Unit Base for another production this month. Feature Film BEATS was also based at the park in 2017 and the

old ground has provided the backdrop for dozens of television shows and news items over the decades, including Purple TV's excellent documentary on Third Lanark for BBC Alba in 2016. we shot our entry for the 2012 48 Hour Film Festival 'Cameron Stone' here, even interrupting the game at half-time to shoot scenes!

Perhaps the most famous role the ground has played has been as a filming location for Peter Mullan's NEDS, which had a memorable and hilarious gym class scene set in Cathkin Park. The old stadium in unique in look and atmosphere in Britain and this is just another aspect worth celebrating.

Inspired by it's Hollywood connections, we have also begun shooting documentary footage of our restoration work and charts our progress since January in cleaning up the remaining terracing and the whole ground in general.

So we hope other film companies will continue to use Cathkin in years to come and help continue to build an interest and promotion of the ground. As we have said, there is no place quite like it...
