A West Lothian building was used as a backdrop in a hit BBC series.
The Bombing of PanAm 103, which concluded earlier this week, told the story of the flight which exploded over Lockerbie on December 21, 1988. It was the worst terror attack to ever happen on British soil, and 270 people were killed - reports the West Lothian Courier.
The programme was made by World Productions as part of a collaboration between the BBC and Netflix.
A lot of filming has taken place in West Lothian and eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted the Civic Centre which was used as one of the main locations for filming.
Emmy award winner, Merritt Wever (New Girl, Nurse Jackie), Patrick J. Adams (from Suits - the most watched series on Netflix in 2023) and Connor Swindells of Barbie fame were all located here for a short while to undertake filming.

A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: "The cast and crew were very grateful to the council's caretakers for their work to help allow filming to take place.
"They even took time out to have a photo taken with our Building Manager, Derek O'Neill."
