Wild Scotland

Cameraman and presenter Gordon Buchanan takes us on a tour of breathtaking scenery and picturesque places in search of Scottish wildlife. In the first of this series, Gordon leaves his home town of Tobermory on the Island of Mull to explore some neighbouring islands - Lunga, Staffa and Coll. Puffins and Seals are the highlight of this film but on the way we get to visit spectacular Fingals Cave.

Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan has come home to the island of Mull. He is keen to show off his homeland, in particular its wildlife. With his film camera by his side, he knows there are lots of animals on the island, but with only one day to find and film them, he could be pushed to deliver. His target for the day is a sea eagle - a very rare inhabitant of the island. He knows of a nest site where he should be guaranteed at least a glimpse of one of these magnificent birds. Along the way he is going to keep his eyes peeled for all sorts of other wildlife, including otters.

Series in which Gordon Buchanan goes in search of Scottish wildlife. He explores the island of Rum, famous for its red deer, seeking out some particularly clever crows.

A look at ospreys, which travel thousands of miles from Africa to nest in the forests and hills of Scotland, fishing with their talons for trout in lochs. Plus pine martens, nocturnal hunters that are rarely seen.

Gordon Buchanan is up on the moors. He is hoping to film some of the animals that this landscape is managed for - grouse, hares and stags. Grouse blend in perfectly with the heather of the moor, seeing them is never easy. Being larger, the hares are easier to spot. At this time of year, mid summer, they appear a greyish shade of blue; hence their name - blue hares. Finally, red deer stags; large bachelor herds roam the moors, a truly spectacular site.
