Jean Jackets & Glasgow (Mind)Games
Due to more videos and pictures being released with S and his ambassadorship with the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, I decided to reignite my search for any details on when this content was filmed. It’s been driving me slightly crazy, but I’m here to tell you - I have succeeded!
As a reminder, I detailed the first appearance of the infamous jean jacket in my ‘Ride the Gallo-way’ post.
We first got the video of Sam in Glasgow talking to Bulgarian fans about Graham and Clanlands on June 19th.
From Graham’s Instagram we know the event was on the same day and perhaps I should have done more diligence the first time around to notice this date.
Then on Monday, June 22nd we got the first post from S about his new DJ venture at the Para Powerlifting event which is scheduled to take place on July 24th.
So common sense would suggest that the all of this content was created sometime between these dates or slightly before. Unless of course S decided to wear the same outfit more than once and record over the course of a few days. He did not. We know the weekend is out due to the infamous motorcycle ride. And filming all of this on the Friday before, would be a super tight schedule.
But before I go any further let’s clear up some loose ends.
On the same Friday, MN posted an Instagram Story that he was at Laboratorio Espresso. In the Bulgarian fan video S is featured across the street from The Hair Club in Glasgow which is about a 10 minute drive or 15 minute walk away.
However, I’m not sure if MN’s story was a latergram or in real time, and I doubt we’ll ever know but S was not across from The Hair Club on the 19th - at least not in those clothes.
My main goal of this post was to find the location of the DJ video and I received some help from the Glasgow Times.
Glasgow Times: Sam Heughan confirmed as DJ for Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games event
As you can see in the bottom of this photo, the photographer is Craig Watson. He is a sports snd corporate photographer who - shockingly - has taken most of the promotional photos for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. And on his portfolio website you can find a number of different galleries.
First, here is the DJ photo gallery slideshow which I have linked, as I will not post his watermarked and copyrighted photographs. The content itself however, was filmed at SíSí Rooftop Mexican Restaurant - which is actually a 14 minute walk away from Laboratorio Espresso and a 3 minute walk away from The Hair Club - just for those keeping track.
If you actually go to the official gallery aptly called ‘Sam Heughan DJ-ing’ you will see in the details that the photographs and video were taken on Thursday, June 18th.
There is also a second gallery with the slideshow here called ‘Sam Heughan Netball’. The netball content was filmed at the Glasgow International Arena which we know from this video and was also filmed on the same day.
From this gallery you will further see photographs that show the location for this video at the indoor athletics track - also at the Glasgow International Arena.
If you’ve made it this far, congrats!
So what does all this mean? Originally I had all of this occurring on the Friday, but in hindsight with travel to Galloway etc. the timeline would have been too tight. But I was only a day late.
Furthermore, perhaps in another life I was a detective, and I don’t know if I should be impressed or concerned with my skills. I will now anxiously await to see if anymore new content comes out. We’re weeks away, so seems likely. And to sum it all up, it’s very clear the Thursday before the Ride Galloway weekend was VERY busy. Make of that what you will.
