The Colossus of Roads

Available for over a year

With its title drawn from an essential work by ARB Haldane, 'New Ways through the Glens' is Kenneth Steven's personal reflection on the changes brought to the people and landscape of the Scottish Highlands by the arrival of roads and canals in the 18th and 19th centuries. In this programme, he looks at the extraordinary work of Thomas Telford in building roads through the Highlands.
