villages, rugged highlands, and steel-blue lakes.

Golf Club of St. Andrews, mysterious glacial waters of Loch Ness, and many more;from a unique aerial perspective.
Chase wild deer across green hills splashed with yellow gorse.
Swoop down on coastal villages so close that you can almost taste the sweet,
smoky salmon.
With a poetic narration and a soundtrack of authentic regional music, Visions
of Scotland opens your eyes, ears, and heart to this legendary land.
Includes bonus footage not seen on public television.
Extra Info:
Taking the concept of Visions of England and moving it north, Visions of Scotland
is a treat for fans of the country or anyone who loves spectacular scenery.
The gently gliding aerial footage (shot from a helicopter) captures the rolling
hills and classic architecture of the Scots,
traveling from Edinburgh;s Royal Mile to St. Andrews
Royal and Ancient Golf Club, to Perth, the northern Lochs (including Loch Ness,
of course, and its famous ruins of Urquhart Castle), Duart Castle, McCaig;s Towers,
and many other points.
The sights range from the sublime (a lone bird soaring over the highlands) to
the mundane (the Friday commute in Glasgow).
Narration provides brief and helpful descriptions of the locations plus small
dabs of history, such as John Knox, Robert the Bruce, and William Wallace.
The music is pleasant, both classical and regional (though the bagpipes sound
slightly electronic), and what else besides the famous folk song could
accompany the sight of Loch Lomond.
In addition to the hourlong main program, there;s 25 minutes of
narrator-less bonus footage, including the charming sight of tiny sheep
scampering across the Isle of Kerrera.
