BBC Scotland - Grand Tours of Scotland's Lochs, Series 3, The Wild Way of the North

Paul visits the lochs of Wester Ross and climbs the peak of Stac Pollaidh.

Paul visits Wester Ross, discovers the heritage of Little Loch Broom, Loch Broom and Ullapool, then explores the Corrieshalloch Gorge and conquers the Bad Step on Stac Pollaidh.

In the first programme of the series, Paul visits Wester Ross and discovers the heritage of Little Loch Broom. He then travels to the off-grid community of Scoraig where he learns about violin making and wind power, before taking the plunge to explore the hidden depths of the Corrieshalloch Gorge. In Ullapool, on the shores of Loch Broom, Paul learns the Russian word for parsley and how a huge fleet of Russian fish factory ships known as Klondykers used to visit the town. He then follows a red herring that connects the lochs of the west coast to the history of the slave trade. Journey’s end is on the rocky summit of Stac Pollaidh.
