Highlands
The dark history of the Scottish Highlands is explored in this series, presented by 'Taggart' star John Michie. Produced by SMG Productions, Highlands is a fascinating, in-depth look at the Highland Clearances, the historical period which saw tens of thousands of Highlanders brutally evicted from their homes during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and the political, social and religious events that preceded it. In the series John visits many of the spectacular locations that were affected by the events, including Culloden, Glenfinnan, Urquhart Castle, Strathcarron and Durness. On his journey, he meets local highlanders and historical experts, including the Earl Of Cromartie, Chief of Clan Mackenzie; and well-known author and historian Jim Hunter, to learn more about this brutal and violent time in Scottish history.

The Edge of the Land Parts 1 - 6
A spectacular aerial journey up Scotland's western coastline. The edge of the land is where geography becomes history, much of what defines the Scots happened where the Atlantic's long fingers reach into the heart of Scotland. From the air we see where man has patterned the landscape; the great city of Glasgow, the fisher towns of the west. We see the marks made by a thousand generations; the stones at Callanish, the brochs of Glenelg.

The wild margins of Scotland have been shaped by the raw power of the ocean; the cliffs at Cape Wrath, the jagged ridge of the Cuillin. We see sea eagles in flight, bottle-nosed dolphins at play.

The Edge of the Land Parts 7 - 12
The eastern edge of Scotland - a coastline of great drama, variety and historic resonance. From the towering sandstone cliffs of Orkney and Caithness, down past the fishertowns of the Moray Firth, the long beaches of Kincardine, Angus and Fife, the seascape around Edinburgh all the way to the City of Berwick-on-Tweed, once part of Scotland and now the most northerly outpost of England.

This is a shoreline decked out with all the traces of humankind; stone-age burial chambers, Pictish brochs, land fortresses, royal castles, millionaire's palaces, ancient harbours, North Sea drilling rigs, soaring bridges, medieval churches, gun emplacements and the roar and flare of modern petrochemical plants.

Edinburgh Castle
In a nation of a thousand castles, one stands out above all others. High on a rock above Scotland's ancient capital, stands Edinburgh Castle. Royal palace and impregnable fortress, prehistoric dwelling place and modern tourist attraction: it is all these things, yet something more. Down the centuries, the Castle has become the defining symbol of Scottish nationhood. It is the embodiment, in rock and stone, of this land's rich and tumultuous history. This programme explores the history behind this iconic collection of buildings, and brings the story up to date with the return of the Stone of Destiny. Spectacular footage of the Festival Fireworks and the Tattoo place the Castle in context with the City of Edinburgh as it is today. Narrated by Jim McColl, the programme also contains French, German and Spanish language options.

The Old Course
St. Andrews has every right to call itself the home of golf. The game has been played for centuries at St. Andrews , on a course shaped by the forces of nature that transformed the dunes into unique and unusual shapes, indifferent then as now, to the vanities of mankind. In 1764 the Society of St. Andrews Golfers combined some of the holes and formed the 18 hole course, which, although adjusted slightly by Old Tom Morris, is the same today. Allowed unique access, our cameras explore the course, the people who run it and visitors who flock from as far as Japan and Australia to play on one of the world's most unpredictable courses. Some have spent $10,000 to be here at the Old Course. Will they get round in less than the magic 100? The answer and much more is revealed in this fascinating documentary, written and presented by Tom Morton. NOTE: ONLY FOR SALE IN THE UK AND IRELAND.

Tartan - Cloth of a Nation
