Game of Thrones (season 1) Most scenes were shot in Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland border counties. Principal photography was scheduled to begin on July 26, 2010,[55] with the primary studio location being the Paint Hall Studio in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast, Northern Ireland.[56] Among various locations for the initial shooting of the pilot in 2009,[51] Doune Castle in central Scotland was used as the location for Winterfell,[57] including scenes at its great hall (the great hall was later recreated in a soundstage in Northern Ireland).[58] Additional filming locations included Cairncastle at Larne,[59] Shane's Castle,[60] and Tollymore Forest Park,[60] all in Northern Ireland. In the 2010 shooting of the series, Castle Ward was used as Winterfell instead of Doune Castle,[61] with Cairncastle for some exterior Winterfell scenes. The set for Castle Black was built at Magheramorne quarry.[62][63] The show's presence in Northern Ireland and use of Paint Hall created hundreds of jobs for residents, and made the area "a hub for film and television production".[64]
