Michael Portillo boards the West Highland Line to begin a railway journey across Scotland’s central belt, from the Arrochar Alps to the Loch of the Lowes.
At the head of Loch Long, Michael meets a legendary octogenarian munro-bagger. In Balloch, on the shores of Loch Lomond, he joins passionate volunteers working to restore an iconic 1950s paddle steamer.
In Glasgow, Michael rides the 'Clockwork Orange', the third oldest underground rail system in the world, to Govan and the shipyards of the River Clyde. And at Kelvinbridge, Michael hears how the chicken tikka masala was created for the Glaswegian palate by an immigrant chef from Lahore.
