Scotland's Golden Coast

Our journey along Scotland's wild, rugged and sublimely beautiful east coast begins with an adventure to discover some remarkable lighthouses, from the enchanting Tentsmuir Forest to the extraordinary Rattray Head.

On the golden sands of Elie in Fife, one of the world's most unusual cricket clubs prepares for its first match of the season. And an emotional pilgrimage brings visitors face-to-face with the rocks that changed our understanding of the world.

On the magical Isle of May, tiny pufflings take their first flight out to sea. In Angus, we enjoy afternoon tea on the historic Caledonian Railway. And we visit Aberdeen's characterful village of Footdee.

A world of hidden sea caves awaits kayakers beneath the cliffs of Arbroath. A couple breathe new life into a historic Crail hotel, and Coldingham Bay's beach huts are the backdrop for a bracing dip.

The beautifully restored Isabella Fortuna fishing boat sets sail from the historic harbour at Wick, and we go looking for bottlenose dolphins at Chanonry Point.
