It just depends on which company came up with the idea of making the programme and buying the rights. I suppose their patch isn't too far from Scotland

Around the same time Thames were making their two Adrian Mole series in South West London despite it being set in the midlands.

Another that springs to mind is Wycliffe which was an HTV production despite being set in Cornwall

I can't remember the name of it, but in the early 1990s, BBC1 showed a three part drama, on Sunday nights, about a middle aged man, who got into a relationship with a young woman. Filmed in the North East of England, as we saw a Northumbria single decker bus, it was made by BBC Scotland! If anyone knows the name, let me know please!

The most obvious example was Central making Auf Wiedersien Pet. Set in Newcastle and Germany, no doubt the studio inserts were filmed in Birmingham!
