The trailer for Trainspotting 2 is out: it’s so Edinburgh
They really like Arthur’s Seat
Ethan EnnalsThe trailer for the long-awaited ‘T2: Trainspotting’ dropped today and it’s filled to the brim with Edinburgh.
The sequel to Danny Boyle’s legendary ‘Trainspotting’ has been filming all over Edinburgh in the past year – including at some more surprising locations.
The 1996 original notoriously did most of its filming in Glasgow. This time round it looks like we’ll be getting a lot more genuine Edinburgh.
Princes Street (and the Tram)
What better way to show how much Edinburgh has changed in 20 years than the Tram.

Not a location but Tennents.

Cav?
Not definite but considering they filmed a club scene there this could be it…
