Edinburgh stars in a new BBC series
Based on the best-selling books by Ian Rankin, Rebus reimagines the iconic character John Rebus (played by Richard Rankin) as a younger Detective Sergeant, drawn into a violent criminal conflict that turns personal.
The six-episode series features striking locations throughout the capital. When asked about Edinburgh as the location for the show, Ian Rankin, Author and Executive Producer for the show answered, “Wherever you go in Edinburgh, you get those iconic locations. Anybody who knows the city knows how photogenic it is. It’s beautiful and Gothic.”
Rebus aired on Friday 17 May. All episodes are available on BBC iPlayer.
Some locations and businesses you’ll spot within the series include: The Mound, The Oxford Bar, The Meadows, Hilton Edinburgh Carlton, Pirlous Café, National Museum of Scotland, and the National Library of Scotland.
