The first in a six-part series that looks at the history of Scottish mountaineering.

Mountain climbing in Scotland has become a highly developed technical sport, but a century ago it was considered a mere novelty. Cameron McNeish traces the origins of Scottish climbing through the pioneering achievements of Norman Collie, who mapped out many of the routes still in use today.

In the last programme of the current series, Alison Goldie goes down under to Australia where she hits the road, travelling along the Stuart Highway from one end of the continent to the other. Named after the 19th-century explorer John McDowell Stuart , the route is a 2,000-mile journey from Darwin in the north to Adelaide in the south. Along the way, Alison experiences the contrasts offered by both the busy, cosmopolitan city and the isolated remoteness of the outback. Meanwhile, Paddy Haycocks samples the pleasures of Singapore when he spends three days in the city that is often viewed as merely the inevitable stopover for long-haul travellers. Musician Rick Wakeman follows the hippie trail in Kerala, the new alternative to Goa, India, while comedian Frank Skinner combines football and fashion when he takes a trip to Milan. With Penny Junor.
