When Scottish Traveller Donald Stewart tries to defend his family from an alleged racist attack at Dyce, near Aberdeen, he is the one arrested.

The Travellers believe they are treated unfairly and they want settled people to be more tolerant of their Traveller culture, but as they move around the country they are not made welcome. In Montrose they are given several police warnings before being charged with illegal camping.

Young Donnie competes in the British Schoolboy Boxing Final, and sister Tina describes what it's like to be a Traveller girl today. As Donald's court case nears, he is told he may go to prison. What does the future hold for the Scottish Travellers? Show less
