\"pilgrim\"<\/a>
\n“Cameron McNeish celebrates the best of Scotland\u2019s history and landscape\u00a0with a new coast to coast walk across the Highlands from Argyll to Easter Ross. This is a journey into our\u00a0rich and often turbulent past, following in the footsteps of our ancestors \u2013 the Celtic priests, Vikings,\u00a0fugitives, red coat armies, or even those who earned their day to day living here, the lead mine workers,\u00a0deer stalkers, drovers and hydro workers.<\/p>\n

In the first of two programmes Cameron walks the first half of this 250 mile route from Iona, often called the cradle of Christianity in Scotland, to Glen Affric. Taking in Mull\u2019s highest mountain, Ben More, he travels through the Morven hills, the atmospheric Sunart Oakwoods and into the wild and remote landscape of Morar.<\/p>\n

The first part will be shown on Boxing Day at 1815 and the second on Friday 27th December at 1830. BBC 2 Scotland, iplayer & all the usual places. Enjoy…<\/p>\n
