Grand Tours of Scotland (2010)

Episode Overview

In this episode, Paul embarks on a journey to explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Highlands, renowned for over two centuries for their ability to rejuvenate 'mind, body and spirit.' Historically, the region was exclusively enjoyed by the elite in the 19th century, but with advancements in transportation during the 20th century, it transformed into a vast playground accessible to all classes seeking respite from everyday life. Paul delves into the outdoor history, starting at Loch Tay in Perthshire, traversing the rugged expanse of Rannoch Moor, scaling the famous Buachaille Etive Mor, and concluding in the charming spa town of Strathpeffer.
