GRAND TOURS OF SCOTLAND

This successful series follows historian Paul Murton as he tours Scotland using a tourist guidebook from the 1800’s called 'Black’s Picturesque Guide to Scotland'.

Explore the most fascinating parts of the country that have charmed visitors since the birth of Scottish tourism 200 years ago.

By using wonderful archival footage and photos and often travelling in the same way as the 19th century tourists including on a horse drawn caravan and on a steam train, Paul delves into the history of the location and what has changed over the 200 years since the first tourists visited the sites.
