VIDEO: Glasgow gets a stars and stripes makeover ahead of filming for new Indiana Jones film
Travel across the pond might not be possible at this moment in time, but Glasgow has been given a taste of America thanks to an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster.
US flags, stars and stripes bunting, and American-style mailboxes are adorning the city centre as preparations get underway for filming for the new Indiana Jones movie.

The upcoming film is the latest to use Glasgow as a base for filming. The city also hosted shooting of parts of World War Z, a 2013 zombie movie starring Brad Pitt.
1917, Wild Rose, Under the Skin, Cloud Atlas, Outlaw King, Outlander and upcoming BBC drama Vigil have also all filmed extensively in Glasgow.
