S2E5 The True Spirit of Scotland

In "The True Spirit of Scotland," presenter Paul Murton embarks on a journey to rediscover the essence of Scotland by tracing the once-popular steamer routes. His adventure begins in the scenic lochs of Argyll and extends to the Isle of Islay. Since the steamers have long departed from these waters, Paul must navigate them himself using a stunning replica of a traditional Rob Roy canoe from the 1890s. Through this unique experience, he unravels the rich history and culture associated with these forgotten waterways.
