A return of the series where presenter Jamie Crawford explores Scotland from above, using stunningly beautiful aerial images to uncover fascinating stories from Scotland’s past.

In the first of three films, Jamie focuses on Scotland’s ten-thousand miles of coastline. He combines old aerial photographs with present-day drone and helicopter footage to uncover an array of amazing tales, from Shetland to Stranraer.

On the island of Canna, Jamie scrambles down a cliff-face to uncover an ancient Christian building, and in the north east he takes a plunge in a fabulous outdoor swimming pool. The journey continues to Loch Ryan and traces of Britain’s biggest seaplane base. Then on to the river Clyde and a ships’ graveyard, discovered by aerial photography.

In Shetland, the view from above sheds light on the construction of Scotland’s ancient and mysterious brochs. Built by unknown hands for unknown reasons. In a bay near Wick, spectacular drone footage illustrates an unbelievable hidden harbour. Plus a unique view of Scotland’s oldest company, and a night flight with the 'sky cops', on the hunt for illegal fishing.
