| Summary |
For centuries, Scotland was regarded as a wild and dangerous place to visit. To find out what changed to make Scotland a popular tourist destination, presenter Paul Murton recreates six Scottish grand tours suggested by a 19th-century copy of Black's Picturesque Guide to Scotland. In this first journey, Paul goes in search of the romantic ideal, travelling from the Trossachs out to Iona and then to the fabled Isle of Staffa - all places that enchanted and inspired visitors with the magic of Scotland's unique history and landscape.
