Episode Overview
Title: An Enchanted Expedition Plot: Paul begins his adventure in the hills overlooking Strathpeffer, by the waters of Loch Ussie, known for its ties to the Brahan Seer, a figure famed for foreseeing calamities. There, he meets musician Lauren MacColl, who draws creativity from the seer’s tale. While at a golf course in the region, Paul uncovers an unexpected link between the historic spa town and the notorious Aleister Crowley. In a nearby forest, a member of the travelling community shares the intriguing customs surrounding a clootie well. Along the Cromarty Firth, he visits a folly and discovers an ancient Pictish stone, before heading to Tain, Scotland's oldest royal burgh, where he learns glassblowing and encounters a witch and a fairy bridge at the Dornoch Firth.
