Coast

A good few people in recent weeks have asked me if I've seen the BBC/OU collaboration Coast. At last I can answer in the affirmative.

Tonight's show covered the western coast of Scotland. It's one of my favourite parts of the country, but I've barely scratched the surface.

Coast is stuffed full of fascinating local tales. Inevitably the programme makers had to pick and chose the stories they told but thankfully they're not just sticking to the familiar ones.

I head that the book accompanying the series is winging its way to my home as I type. It'll make a fascinating companion to my walk.
