Since opening FirstStage Studios has been home to multiple series for Amazon Prime and Netflix, working with major production companies such as LeftBank and Wild Mercury. We hosted the BAFTA nominated independent feature The Outrun including the facility’s first underwater shoot, alongside smaller features, commercials, brand productions and unit base hosting for major feature films.
FirstStage Studios is engaged in an ambitious ongoing development plan repurposing our building’s embedded carbon as we develop a creative future for our customers.
Our highly accessible self contained facility anchors substantial inward investment in production in Scotland, facilitating our customers’ ambitious imaginations and bringing jobs and supply chain opportunities.

Location
Located in Leith, the distinctive northern district of Edinburgh bordering the Firth of Forth, FirstStage Studios sits close to The Shore, one of the city’s most vibrant districts. Unusually for a production facility of such scale restaurants, cafes and hotels of all standards are within walking distance. The Shore is internationally recognised as one of Edinburgh’s most active creative and hospitality districts.
Outreach
Firststage Studios was exited to host the final performance of the Edinburgh Arts Festival 2025.
