Iconic Edinburgh pub given shout-out by director Guillermo del Toro during visit

Mexican film director Guillermo del Toro has been in Edinburgh recently scouting for new filming locations and has given one pub in particular a shout-out after likening their theme to his newest movie.

The 58-year-old, known for directing Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy and Nightmare Alley, recently uploaded a picture of himself in the city centre last week, saying he was on the lookout for potential filming locations.

As most will know, the capital is no stranger to paying homage to several blockbuster movies in recent years, with the likes of The Avengers, Fast and Furious and The Lost King all being filmed in the city.
