Here, ghost tours are booked months in advance, whisky barrels outnumber people four to one, and villages deserted for two hundred years stand in the mountain valleys.

A 4K documentary: what life is really like in Scotland.

This country has everything a real country should have: its own parliament, its own laws and courts, its own church, its own education system, and even its own currency, which London reluctantly accepts. The only thing missing is independence—for over three hundred years. In this film about life in Scotland, you'll see Edinburgh and Glasgow, who can't stand each other, castles with their legends and night tours that have become an entire industry, and the Highlands—the most desolate part of Europe, deserted after sheep proved more profitable than farmers. We'll explore who owns Scotland and why everyone has the right to walk on it, what clans and tartans really are, how people live in the Hebrides, where Sunday was long a sacred day, and how barley, water, and peat smoke produce a drink that the country sells to two hundred countries.

Subscribe—we're traveling the world, country by country, without postcards or advertising brochures.
