Scotland's best known outdoors man, Cameron McNeish, undertakes a 150 miles journey through some of the least visited parts of Scotland from the southern end of Sutherland to the northenr tip of the Orkney islands. Travelling on foot, by bike and with his beloved campervan, explores the culture and history that has shaped his homeland and celebrates some of the finest landscapes to be found anywhere.
Cameron begins his journey through eastern Sutherland before entering the wild open spaces and remote flow country of Caithness. During this first part of his trip, he discovers that while some people were focibly evicted from their land, others voluntarily chose to seek a new life half a world away in South America. Today this is a landscape of wild, untamed beauty.
After taking the ferry north Cameron celebrates the lesser known aspects of 6 Orkney Islands - South Ronaldsay, Hunda, Orkney mainland, Rousay, Sanday and, at the farthest end of the archipelago, North Ronaldsay. His guests include those whose families have lived here for generations to relative newcomers who have made the journey North tobe part of this vibrant community. No visit to Orkney would be complete without exploring the rich archaeological remains found here, but Cameron also meets two exceptionally talented traditional muscians, discovers why these islands are so environmenally important, and spends time with a former lighthouse keeper turned beachcomber and a visitor who is attempting an unusual world record.
