HOLLYWOOD film studios have been falling over themselves to film in Scotland as the industry has boomed in recent years and one team of combat specialists from Stirlingshire has relished the limelight.
“They are good at setting themselves on fire, riding horses and falling out of buildings, but when it came to fighting, being a martial artist, I could create a team that could do something more authentic and real for directors.“We are proud of the fact we have a great reputation within the industry for delivering and being efficient on set.”
Allen wanted to build something that could be used to aid teaching and said that at the height of its popularity before the pandemic, there were around 20,000 visitors and 300 schools a year visiting the fort.He said: “When I was a kid at school, we didn’t get our own culture or heritage taught to us.
Not only did Outlander shoot at Duncarron – a project Allen reckons cost around £3 million to build – but they also built and left some props of their own. He said: “The difference between now and when we first started is there is far more getting filmed up here .“They used to pay us the most insulting fees and wages, £40 a day, but now everybody is on equity rates, so the respect has grown.“People are now falling over themselves to come and film in Scotland.”
