As someone who grew up in England for most of my life and moved to Scotland in my late teens I'm still very much a beginner in the history of the land I choose to live in. What I have learnt so far is that it is a very rich and fascinating history so this has the potential to be a very interesting series.

Is there anyone willing to record this series for me, please?  As much controversy as its raised, I would still want to watch it, but I am booked to work weekends until January, so will not be able to see it.  |

The controversy seems to be that they're only telling Scotland's history from Hadrian's Wall onwards. Which is kind of fair enough, since anything before is PREhistory  If it's the story of the people, the Scots, then it should start with the arrival of the Scots. If it's the story of Northern Britain, then it should go back to the iceage. Still, going to be worth watching for the whole Scot/Pict/Briton/Saxon thing. (With history programs I tend to lose interest after 1066. It's wrong, I know, but... medieval is all greek to me lol) You can always watch it on the iPlayer, I'm sure it'll be on there. I would tape it, but I have no idea how to get it off those fangled Sky+ boxes (I wish I had a video capture card, I would have a huge library of these things by now) |

Getting it off the Sky+ box is my problem too. I'll look into it though and see if I can sort it out.
