The Nest is a British television drama series starring Sophie Rundle and Martin Compston as a married couple unable to conceive with Mirren Mack as the 18-year-old who offers to be their surrogate mother. Broadcasting began on 22 March 2020.[1] [2]
The Nest was filmed in Glasgow, East Kilbride, Paisley and Helensburgh.[3] Emily (Sophie Rundle) and Dan's (Martin Compston) house in the series is called Cape Cove, a holiday rental house on the shore of Scotland's Loch Long. Speaking on finding the house, producer Clare Kerr said: "It was a challenge, but it was always in the script, and because water runs through the script as a kind of theme... We were really lucky in that nobody else had used it, because it's got such a particular look." The scenes where Emily is swimming were also filmed in Loch Long. Kaya's (Mirren Mack) flat is situated in Gorbals, while the fictional "Calderwood Falls" waterfall is located at the Devil's Pulpit. The Devil's Pulpit has previously been used as a setting for Starz period drama Outlander.
