Production crews took over an iconic Glasgow pub to film a new BBC series. 

A new season of crime drama Shetland is currently being filmed in and around the city and we reported that several roads will be closed for some scenes to be shot.

Now the spotlight is on a West End pub as the film crew were pictured at the Lismore on Dumbarton Road on Monday.

It looks like they could be shooting a night-time scene, as the pub's front facade was entirely covered in black sheets to keep the sunlight out. 

Actress Alison O'Donnell, who plays Alison 'Tosh' McIntosh, was spotted on the set.

Shetland also stars After Life actress Ashley Jensen, who took over the lead role from Douglas Henshall.

This is the ninth series of the hit series, which is set on the island of Shetland, and it is produced by ITV Studios for BBC.

First opened in 1996, The Lismore seems like the perfect setting outside of the island itself, as it has been described as 'self-styled Highland pub in the middle of Glasgow'. 

Numerous locations in the city will be used for filming in the coming weeks.

Glasgow City Council previously confirmed that in the Southside, Paisley Road West, between Admiral Street and Stanley Street, will be closed from 3pm on July 28 until 11pm on July 29.

Meanwhile, in the East End, the city's Drygate and Cathedral Square will also be closed from 8am until 11.59pm on July 25.

Back in April, a convenience store in Clydebank was taken over to film scenes for the upcoming series.
