Film and television productions brought just under £20 million to Glasgow's economy last year, according to new figures. 

Glasgow Film Office reported receipt of 343 location inquiries, resulting in 231 productions being shot during 2013. This was worth £19.74m - just below the £20.15m generated in 2011, when major films starring Brad Pitt, Halle Berry and Scarlett Johansson were shot in the city. What We Did On Our Holiday, starring David Tennant, Rosamund Pike and Billy Connolly, was 2013's biggest shoot.

Bailie Liz Cameron, Glasgow City Council's executive member for jobs and the economy, said: "2013 was yet another successful year for the film and broadcast industry in Glasgow. These figures once again illustrate the value of the work of Glasgow Film Office."
