Hannah, 60, was filming scenes for the upcoming film both inside and outside the bar The Tower pub in Craigshill.

The owners later revealed on social media they were “sworn to secrecy” while he was there, but were delighted when the Inspector Rebus actor agreed to put on one of their branded t-shirts and pose for selfies.

The Tower wrote on Facebook on Saturday: “So we were sworn to secrecy but we had the film crew for the new movie Damaged filming scenes inside and outside the pub last night and Scotland’s own John Hannah was kind enough to put on one of the new Tower tee’s for us.”
