Product Information

The Scottish National Team are one of the best supported sides in international football, regularly attracting 50,000 fans to support the team at Hampden. However, the Scots have not had much to cheer about in recent times having not qualified for a major finals since 1998. It is a far cry from the glory days of the national side which saw some of the games greatest players wear the Scotland football shirt including Dennis Law, Kenny Dalglish and Gary McAllister. Alice Whittemore, Talent Executive at Short Circuit said: “It’s been invigorating to assess the high calibre of Sharp Shorts applications for a second year running. We can’t wait to work with these teams to develop a fresh crop of stories that reflect a plethora of voices from creative talent based in Scotland.” Film City Futures’ mission is to connect people, space and opportunity, enabling access and entry to the screen industries for all. We offer industry focused programmes that are creative, challenging, and most importantly meet the needs of the screen sector in Scotland, from the engagement of new and emerging talent, to personal and business development.

From the 1200s to the 1300s the Scottish clan system became firmly established in the Highlands. Ruled over by a clan chief, these clans were like tribes and were made up of family members and people who had a loyalty to the chief. Each clan held a particular territory and clan members could be distinguished by the clothes they wore – the origins of what we now know as Scottish clan tartan! For Scottish football fans who prefer to remember happier times, we have a great collection of classic Scotland retro shirts from the 1960s and 1970s which make the perfect gift for the older generation who were around to enjoy the most vintage era in Scottish football history.

About Film City Futures Despite these uncertain times, the 1700s also saw the beginning of one of the greatest periods in Scotland’s history – the Scottish Enlightenment. From the mid 1700s to the early 1800s educated Scottish people, such as professors, doctors and writers, began to question what was previously believed and instead formulate new theories and ideas. The discoveries and advances that were made during this time went on to shape the modern world as we know it.
