A STRETCH of the A1 in East Lothian is to be closed overnight in both directions due to filming.

The A1 between Gladsmuir and Oaktree junctions will be closed from midnight on Saturday until 6am Sunday morning for filming to take place.

A spokesman for Amey, which manages the road, was unable to state what the nature of the filming was.

A diversion route will be running along the A199, B6363 and B6471 for the duration of the closure and will be signposted.
