Its story began with the opening of the canal in 1790 and it has seen a real renaissance in recent times.

Campaign Launched to Save Dumbarton Studios for Creative Industries

A public crowdfunding campaign has been launched in a “race against time” to save the historic Dumbarton Studios from being sold for private property development and lost to the creative industries forever.

The site, which has been the production home for iconic Scottish shows like River City and Take the High Road, is being sold by the BBC. A community-led group is now seeking to enact a Community Right to Buy to preserve the facility as a working studio and creative hub.

While not a games-specific facility, the potential loss of these studios represents a significant threat to the entire creative ecosystem, including the games sector.

A ‘More Than Games’ Asset

The Dumbarton studios include sound stages, production offices, and workshops – critical infrastructure that is increasingly shared between the games, film, TV, and animation industries. As games move more into virtual production, motion capture, and high-fidelity audio, the availability of accessible, large-scale studio space is a vital component of the national ecosystem.

Losing this facility would shrink Scotland’s creative production capacity, impacting everyone from indie animation teams to game studios looking for space for ambitious projects.

The First Step: A £6,000 Goal

The group is not yet fundraising for the full purchase. The immediate goal of the £6,000 crowdfunding campaign is to fund the essential first step: a formal valuation survey and business plan. This report is a legal necessity to move forward with the Community Right to Buy process and prove a sustainable model for the studio’s future.

The campaign’s organisers warn that without this initial funding, the chance to secure the site will be lost, and it will almost certainly be sold to property developers and demolished for housing.

The vision is to retain the site as a working studio while also opening parts of it as a film and TV heritage centre, creating a multi-use creative and cultural asset.

How to Help

This is a critical moment to protect a vital piece of Scotland’s creative infrastructure. The Scottish Games Network encourages studios, developers, and anyone passionate about the health of our wider creative economy to support the campaign.

La meva #CançóDelDia per al dissabte 18 d'octubre és aquesta del #DavidByrne #Dumbarton #NY #Cantautor #AltRock #NewWave ♎!

I recently had several months worth of auction lots shipped, and last night I finally had time to open them. It has, unfortunately, been a crazy couple of months.

This is the first batch.

First up are five Ardbeg bottlings - the original 17 year (not the recent re-release), Traigh Bhan release 02, the Twenty One, Twenty Something 22yr, and Twenty Something 23yr.

A run of nice Single Grain bottlings from Clan Denny - 1997 20yr Invergordon, 1998 25yr Cambus, 1974 35yr North of Scotland, 1975 36yr Cambus, 1965 45yr Dumbarton, 1965 45yr Girvan, 1965 45yr Caledonian, and 1963 48yr Cambus.

And a 2006 bottling of Compass Box Hedonism. That's one I was missing from the lineup.
