Publisher's Synopsis
All six episodes from the first series of the travel programme presented by Paul Murton. Scotland was once avoided by travellers due to its hostile environment but many changes have taken place since the beginning of tourism in the country two centuries ago. Using the Victorian book 'Black's Picturesque Guide to Scotland', Paul goes on six different tours to discover how the country became a destination of choice for many. Along the way he explores Scottish history and visits locations such as the Trossachs, Dunkeld, Ben Nevis, the Isle of Skye, Shetland and capital city Edinburgh. The episodes are: 'The Romantic Ideal', 'The Sporting Life', 'In Search of the Real Scotland', 'Mind, Body and Spirit', 'In Search of Perfect Isolation' and 'Wish You Were Here'.
