A discovery platform for Scottish screen locations

Scenehunt began as a way to reconnect film and television with the real places where those stories were made.

The idea was simple: create a focused discovery tool for Scottish screen locations that felt useful, curated and visually considered. Not a novelty tourism site, and not a version of Scotland built around clichés, but a quieter product that helped people explore locations with a bit more care.

Our role was to shape the identity, interface and overall product direction for the platform. The work covered the visual system, homepage, location pages, map based exploration, submission flow and the structure needed to support a growing archive of Scottish film and television locations.

The visual direction was built around landscape, memory and restraint. We wanted Scenehunt to feel connected to Scotland without falling into anything too twee or overly familiar. No tartan shorthand, no tourist board gloss, no overdone heritage cues. Instead, the system uses deep royal blue, warm parchment, rose accents, clean typography and subtle topographic line work to create something more editorial and atmospheric.

The interface needed to balance discovery with practical use. Each location page brings together the core information a visitor needs: where the location is, what it appeared in, photography, visiting notes, map access, nearby locations and local weather. The aim was to make the product simple enough to use quickly, but rich enough to reward browsing.

A key part of the approach was keeping the MVP focused. Users can explore locations, view productions, submit new places and mark locations as visited without the experience becoming heavy with accounts or unnecessary features. Behind that sits an admin workflow for reviewing and approving submissions, giving the platform room to grow while keeping the public experience clean.

The identity follows the same logic. The Scenehunt mark is minimal and geometric, hinting at frames, routes and folded landscapes without becoming too literal. Paired with an editorial serif and a restrained interface, it gives the platform a distinctive feel while letting the locations remain the focus.

The result is a digital product that sits somewhere between a guide, an archive and an exploration tool. Scenehunt helps people discover the Scottish landscapes and places behind the screen, while giving those locations a more considered visual home.

It is built to be simple, useful and expandable. A platform for screen culture, place and quiet discovery, without turning Scotland into a theme park.
