BBC Scotland - Grand Tours of Scotland's Lochs, Series 4, Across the Moors

Paul discovers a WWI PoW camp and a monument to the navvies as he treks to a remote bothy.

Paul discovers a forgotten WWI German prison camp, remembers the navvies who built Europe’s once-biggest dam, and crosses the moors to a kingly feast on an island in a loch.

Leaving Kinlochleven – once known as the electric village because of its links to power-hungry aluminium smelting - Paul discovers a forgotten German PoW camp from WWI in the woods nearby. Taking an old military road out of the village, Paul climbs into the surrounding hills and arrives at the Blackwater dam - a colossal memorial in concrete to the last of the navvies. After visiting the graves of some who died during its construction, Paul treks across empty moorland to a lonely bothy. 

From Corrour, the UK’s highest and remotest station, he arrives unexpectedly in the lap of luxury. After failing miserably at clay pigeon shooting at Corrour Lodge, Paul makes a long hike down to Loch Laggan, where he is taken out to an island with a legendary feasting tradition.
