BBC One - Great British Journeys, Thomas Pennant: A Tour in Scotland and Voyage to the Hebrides (1772)

Nicholas Crane follows in the footsteps of Thomas Pennant.

Nicholas Crane pieces together the route which Thomas Pennant took for his masterwork, A Tour in Scotland.

Readers of pioneer, scientist and explorer Thomas Pennant's masterwork, A Tour in Scotland, learned about rocks that could overpower a compass or prove the real age of the Earth, and about a people teetering on the edge of starvation. Can Nicholas Crane piece together the route which Pennant took and solve the puzzle at the heart of it - why Pennant turned back at Ledbeg in Sutherland and undertook an 18-mile trek through rain, bogs and mountains to the obscure island of Inchmaree?
