Dr Who's Tardis and Balamory to feature on interactive map of iconic TV and film locations in Scotland

An interactive map has showcased 13 Scottish locations which have shaped the history of the BBC. As the broadcaster marks its centenary, Historic Environment Scotland (HES) has teamed up with its counterparts across the UK to select 100 buildings and places which have defined the network's coverage.

From the inspiration for Dr Who's Tardis, to the filming location for CBBC's Balamory, Scottish landscapes and architecture have had a profound impact on the BBC's 100-year history. The map offers insight into the colourful facades of Main Street in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, famous for its inspiration for the popular children's TV show.

The police box in Glasgow's Buchanan Street, just one of four that remains in the city, is known for its role as the Tardis. The Lodberrie in Shetland, built as merchants' trading posts and now best known as the house of Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez from the BBC drama Shetland, is also featured.
