- Synopsis:
The eastern edge of Scotland - a coastline of great drama, variety and historic resonance. From the towering sandstone cliffs of Orkney and Caithness, down past the fishertowns of the Moray Firth, the long beaches of Kincardine, Angus and Fife, the seascape around Edinburgh all the way to the City of Berwick-on-Tweed, once part of Scotland and now the most northerly outpost of England. This is a shoreline decked out with all the traces of humankind; stone-age burial chambers, Pictish brochs, land fortresses and royal castles. There are long stretches of gentle woodland, mile after mile of gleaming sands, tranquil sea lochs and marshlands used by thousands of migrating birds and dozens of red roofed fishing villages as picturesque as anything the Mediterranean has to offer. The helicopter-mounted cameras of Edge of the Land reveal the unknown - and endlessly surprising - seascape of the east, the other half of Scotland's enchanted shore.
