Across the Moors and the Land of Giants
From a forgotten WWI German prison camp, Paul crosses the moors to a kingly feast on an island before heading to Loch Tay in Perthshire.
Paul discovers a forgotten German PoW camp from WWI before walking to the Blackwater Dam β built 100 years ago by the last of the navvies. Afterwards, a trek across the moors leads to the UKβs highest and remotest railway station.
After enjoying luxury in the middle of nowhere at Corrour Lodge, Paul makes a long hike down to Loch Laggan, where he is taken out to an island with a legendary feasting tradition. Further south, he explores the lochs of the northern Trossachs. Here, he learns about mythic water horses and the legend of Rob Roy MacGregor, and meets a man who casts doubt on this legendary character.
Paul then travels along a disused railway to the βShaky Tounβ β Scotlandβs earthquake centre. A trek on horseback takes Paul to Loch Tay, where he goes back to the Iron Age and learns how to light a fire without matches. Journeyβs end is on the summit of mist-wreathed Ben Lawers.
