FILMING for the newest Avengers film has started in Scotland, much of the excitement of locals.
Camera crews were seen arriving in Edinburgh yesterday as they prepared to shoot scenes for the Hollywood blockbuster.
The latest instalment from the Marvel franchise – Avengers: Infinity War – brings the superheroes back together on the historic High Street.
Lighting tests and equipment set-up has already started in the city as crews arrived earlier this week.
Filming will soon get under way in Edinburgh with drones shooting aerial footage of the Old Town.
