Scotland's Golden Coast

Filmed during Scotland’s busy summer season in August 2026, the series follows people who live and work along this remarkable coastline as they welcome visitors from near and far, balancing thriving local businesses with the responsibility of preserving the history, character and natural beauty of the places they are proud to call home. From the ancient woodlands and shifting dune forests of Tentsmuir, where the North Sea continues to add to the shoreline, to the puffin colonies of the Isle of May National Nature Reserve and the dolphin-rich waters of the Moray Firth, cameras will capture the landscapes and wildlife that make this golden coast such a treasure.

Episode 3

Five miles off Scotland's east coast, the Isle of May comes alive as hundreds of thousands of seabirds return for the breeding season. Reserve manager David and his team watch over this extraordinary colony, which involves everything from counting nesting birds to braving protective Arctic terns and helping tiny pufflings take their first flight out to sea. In Angus, the Caledonian Railway offers a nostalgic journey through the countryside aboard lovingly restored trains and at the mouth of Aberdeen harbour, paddleboard instructor Campbell takes to the water to reveal a different side of the Granite City.
