Here’s a new The Herald Scotland interview with Sam Heughan 

From The Herald Scotland

Heughan’s comments come as Wardpark Studios, the private company which shoots Outlander for Sony, seeks £4 million in Scottish Government funding to expand its Cumbernauld site from four sound stages to six. The development, which also includes a back lot and offices, would increase the size of the facility by almost two thirds, taking it up to almost 80,000sq ft.

The existing site is used purely for filming Outlander, but as a condition of the deal, the extra sound stages could be hired out to other productions.

“We are very aware on Outlander that we’ve got this studio,” said Heughan. “It has been built for a specific use and we have proved it can be done. I know they have been talking for a long time about [a Scottish film studio].
