About this location

Meow Studios Southside Garage is an industrial photo and film studio in Edinburgh’s Southside, the residential district south of the Old Town running through Marchmont and Grange. The studio occupies a garage/industrial unit with a 32-foot shooting area — substantial for a studio at this price point. Blackout options give productions full lighting control. At £40/hr this is the entry level of the Edinburgh studio market, accessible for student productions, micro-budget commercial work, and any shoot that needs a dedicated shoot space without the day-rate overhead of the city’s premium studios. The Southside location means the exterior context is Edinburgh residential terraces rather than the tourism-facing Old Town or the financial-district West End.

For Edinburgh University or Queen Margaret University student productions, the EH9 postcode is within walking or cycling distance of the main campus areas. The 32-foot shooting area supports portrait, product, and small-scale set builds that would be physically impossible in smaller studio rooms at equivalent prices. The blackout facility means the studio is usable at any time of day without ambient light interference. Booking via Tagvenue in hourly increments from £40/hr; the whole venue is hired as a single entity.
