4th strand of Paul Murton's Grand Tours of Scotland/Scottish things (after Scotland in general, Scottish Islands & Scottish Lochs) for BBC Scotland. No imdb page for Rivers yet - surprising as the others each have one, and it's been flowing (ho-ho!) since 2021 - but here's a BBC programme website, S2 and S3 are on iPlayer at the moment, and they get released on commercial DVDs. Each series is 6 30-minute episodes, but they sometimes get repackaged into double 60-minute eps - I'm sticking to the 6x30 format for timings and ep numbers.

As usual with these Murton things, they're not very car heavy - I didn't see anything interesting enough for us in S1 or S2 - but every so often he does an ep with lots of goodies in it. I suspect he's also a car fan underneath his hiking-boots-across-remote-landscapes passion ....

Ep 3.01 ("Quietly Flows the Don") is a good example as lots of juicy stuff appears as he tramps around Aberdeenshire and - much to his apparent surprise - stumbles upon the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford.

I tried to go once many years ago but it was closed ..... Has a few things which have turned up in recent Scottish films and TV series, and I've been told it's a small but good'un and worth a visit - provided it's open ...

Am not posting ordinary backgrounds from this ep (or any others which may pop up in other eps).

Ep 3.02 is the upper half of Scotland's longest river - the Tay. Only a brief vehicle interlude after about 4 minutes at the Cononish gold mine above Tyndrum. These "Weird scenes inside the goldmine" (60s music reference!) might give Mike some fun??

Ep 3.03 continues to the lower half of the Tay - only one entry, a water reed harvester.

Nothing of interest in S3 eps 4-6.
