State of the Nation

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series of five programmes which profiles the nations of the United Kingdom 3: Scotland
To many people, Scotland is still a land struggling to escape from its past: dying industries and faded hopes of nationhood, draped overall in the inescapable myth of heather and tartan chauvinism. Others point to the wealth created there by North Sea oil and the jobs generated by the new electronics industries in 'Silicon Glen'.
In this fresh assessment of State of the Nation, Scots men and women from all fields of achievement reflect on their own feelings about their homeland and its future.
