The new Outlander prequel series will begin filming in Glasgow today.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood is a spin-off of the hugely popular television show starring Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe as Jamie and Claire Fraser.
Glasgow City Council has said a number of roads in the west end of the city and the Scotstoun area will be closed for production, which is scheduled to run from January 7, 2024, to February 2, 2024.

Emergency vehicles will be able to pass, but pedestrian movement will also be restricted in these areas while filming action takes place.
Though little is known about the Outlander prequel, it has been confirmed it will be based on the forbidden love story of Brian Fraser and Ellen MacKenzie, Jamie Fraser's parents.
Outlander author Diana Gabaldon is serving as a consulting producer on the show, and is also said to be writing a prequel novel about the Frasers which the series will be based on.
Meanwhile, Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Roberts will serve as executive producer and writer for the 10-episode series, with Ronald D. Moore and Maril Davis also as writers.

Casting for the show is tightly under wraps, and it's uncertain whether Sam Heughan or Caitriona Balfe will return for cameos - though almost anything is possible with time travel.
But, as with the original show, it's expected much of the scenes will be filmed on location in Scotland and at the "Outlander studio" here.
