A series of tours suggested by the Victorian guidebook, Black's Picturesque Guide to Scotland. From Shetland, the Orkney islands, St Andrews, North Berwick to Edinburgh.
Using the Victorian guide book Blacks Picturesque Guide to Scotland for inspiration, Paul Murton travels to the far north to explore Shetland and its fabulous wildlife, before sailing south to the musical Orkney islands.
