Quality will remain at the heart of all of BBC Scotland's output in 2010/11, on each of its broadcasting platforms, as we strive to reach out to audiences across Scotland and beyond.

Journalism

BBC Scotland will continue to play a pivotal role in Scottish life by producing excellent, original journalism and delivering the best coverage of the big stories on radio, television and online. In particular, we will focus on Scottish and UK politics in the wake of the General Election and in the lead up to the Scottish Parliamentary Elections in May 2011.

Our investigations will continue to shed light on important issues, scrutinising people and policy for the public good. These investigations will play a prominent part in our journalism across all broadcast platforms.

On radio, we will continue to offer improved local coverage on big stories of public concern. Online, we will look to provide a better breaking news service, updating stories more often, as we seek to serve our audiences on the move.

On BBC ALBA, An Là will continue to provide a focus for local, national and international news and Eòrpa, also on the BBC Parliament channel, will continue to assess European current affairs for the Gaelic language community.

Knowledge / Music / Culture

Scottish Landscapes will be a major landmark series for BBC One Scotland in 2010, examining the changing environment and man's role in shaping it. It will be accompanied by outreach activities, multiplatform content and a BBC Two Scotland documentary, Men of Rock, which will tell the story of Scotland's pioneering geologists.

The Lighthouse Stevensons will celebrate the engineering achievements of the family dynasty who built lighthouses around Britain; Travellers will offer an intimate portrait of one of Scotland's travelling families and Films of Scotland will offer a unique visual perspective on the last century.

Music will remain at the heart of the schedules of BBC ALBA and Radio nan Gàidheal, with coverage of events and festivals such as the National Mod, Celtic Connections, the Hebridean Celtic Music festival, Blas and with special programming to mark BBC Scotland's Year of Song.

Online, we will develop our Learning websites, closely aligning them with the Scottish curriculum, targeting learners from pre-school to adult and linking content with general programme output where appropriate. Gaelic learning resources, online, on television and radio, will be prioritised, with new pre-school animations and a new science-based resource for 6-12 year olds on BBC ALBA . A bespoke website for Gaelic song will be launched.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, which will be celebrated with a live concert. Radio Scotland will continue to champion Scotland's rich cultural and musical heritage, with coverage ranging from the Glasgow Jazz Festival to two weeks of programming from the Edinburgh International Festival.
