I spoke to 4 crew members from this production yesterday.The separation of local crew / not local can be calculated in a few ways (attached) so have had various figures. At lowest 70/30 was claimed and at the very, very best it was 50/50, now likely less

What is confusing to me is why Screen Scotland, on record, when asked about the split said "predominately from Scotland, some are from the south, but most are based in Scotland".This statement does not appear to be based on verifiable data and I'd like to know why it was said?>
If a screen agency have being asked by the news to speak on a very specific subject then surely they would do their homework before hand in order to answer any questions accurately? It is not difficult to obtain very accurate figures, and that is not confidential information.
Screen Scotland either don't know the local figures – which is mind blowing, or have been given incorrect ones or are using figures calculated in a different way to how the crew members I spoke to did. Nobody involved appears able to give accurate figures to support the headlines
Councillor Kelly has been quoted as saying 'it's hard to say exactly'. This is £42m he is talking about and he seems unable to account for around £40m of it! This is incredible. Why does he not know this?
Are Screen Scotland guiding GCC in this? If GCC can't account for £42m then they need assistance. But if Screen Scotland are unable to give, simple accurate crew figures then perhaps they are also unable to properly guide GCC. This is getting very messy but answers are required!
