Presenter James Crawford takes to the air to discover how the wild landscapes of Scotland influence our sporting lives. He travels to the volcanic landmark Ailsa Craig on the trail of the best curling stones in the world and follows their remarkable journey from quarry to Olympic ice.
In the Outer Hebrides, James tracks down a golf venue laid out by the founding father of course design that was almost lost to history, buried in the wild landscape of South Uist. He uncovers the remarkable story of the restoration of what has been called golf's Holy Grail. On the Isle of Rum, he finds out how the island's original inhabitants hunted deer sustainably for generations. James also discovers how the wealthy owners of the 19th century attempted to create a sporting paradise of hunting, shooting and fishing.
In Glencoe, James explores how some of Scotland's mountains were opened up by a maverick group of climbers from the shipyards of Glasgow. He clambers up Rannoch Wall with one of Scotland’s leading young climbers, Natalie Berry. While in Livingston, he encounters the modern concrete landscape of the town’s legendary skate park and tells the story of the visionary architect who created it.
