Grand Tours of Scottish Isles

Paul Murton visits Britain's two remotest island communities, Foula and Fair Isle in Shetland, where he makes a nerve-wracking cliff visit and attempts to spot rare birds.

Paul turns his back on the sea and visits landlocked islands on bonnie Loch Lomond, where he gets a bird's- eye view of one of Scotland's most iconic beauty spots.

Paul sets off from Mallaig to visit a group of islands famed for their unusual names: Rum, Muck and Eigg.

Paul discovers that the seemingly peaceful islands in the Firth of Forth have a dramatic history of war, from medieval raids to the first air attack on Britain.

On the isle of Skye, Paul visits the home of celebrated writer and naturalist Gavin Maxwell before scaling the spectacular Am Bastier mountain.
