- Synopsis:
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 fisher towns 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. Yet there are long stretches of gentle woodland, mile after mile of gleaming sands, tranquil sea lochs, sand bars on which hundreds of grey seals sun themselves, marshlands used by thousands of migrating birds and dozens of red-roofed fishing villages as picturesque as anything the Mediterranean has to offer. - Studio:
