Hearts in the Highlands
Greg Hemphill explores the Scottish television's fascination with the country's landscape and how Scots emigres preserve their own notion of Scottishness.
Celebrating 60 years of television in Scotland, this episode explores Scottish television's fascination with our glorious landscape. From Weir's Way to The Munro Show, there's a never-ending desire to climb mountains so the audience doesn't have to. There are also the Scots who emigrated and either long to come home, or do their best to preserve their own notion of Scottishness in the new country. Including the iconic Miss Scotland 1979.
