A MAJOR filming operation was under way at an East Lothian stately home this week, with at least 10 large lorries spotted at the site.

On Monday and Tuesday, lorries were seen taking over Gosford House, near Longniddry, with the area closed off to the public.

It is unclear what is currently being filmed on site, but there has been a number of high-profile productions shot at Gosford House over the years.

A passerby said: "I really have no idea what they are filming, because there has been so much filmed here over the past few years.

"The other day, I saw at least 10 lorries driving into the estate, and the convoy was absolutely massive."
