This Scottish comedy is a cult spin-off from the 1999 sketch show Chewin' The Fat, which later went nationwide on the BBC. Pensioners Jack and Victor live in the fictional district of Craiglang, Glasgow, comparing its modern ills to how they remember the old days. This break-out series shows that these old Glaswegians are Still Game for whatever life throws at them.

Still Game filming locations

Maryhill district, Glasgow

Modern Maryhill represents Craiglang, a fictional district of Glasgow. This area spreads along seven miles of the Maryhill Road between the Forth and Clyde Canal and the River Kelvin. Most of Still Game's main scenes are filmed in Maryhill streets.

The Robyn's Nest cafe, Glasgow

The Robyn's Nest cafe is often frequented by the characters in Still Game, and was filmed on Maryhill Road. It's next door to the Maryhill Library, just south of the Forth and Clyde Canal towpath.

Townhead, Glasgow

Several scenes from Still Game were filmed in the Townhead district, including the flats in series seven and the shops in series two. Navid's shop is in Townhead.

Hillhead Library, Byres Road, Glasgow

This library near the Botanical Gardens was the location for Jack and Victor's lunch break in series two, and for Tam's proposal to Frances in series four.

Ruchill Street, Glasgow

The local pub in Still Game is called The Clansman. Its exterior is actually The Gimlet on Ruchill Street. Also called the Ruchill Tavern, it was used from series one to four. Then it was knocked down to build houses.

River Kelvin Locks, Glasgow

Several scenes in Still Game were shot around the River Kelvin Locks, near the junction with the River Clyde.

Knightswood Golf Course, Archerhill Road, Glasgow

In series two, Winston and Tam play golf at the Craiglang Municipal Golf Course. The location for this is about four miles west of Maryhill, at Knightswood.
