High-lights: New view of Scotland from the sky
Stunning aerial images showing the impact of climate change on Scotland’s landscape are set to feature in a new BBC series.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) archive photographs will form part of Scotland from the Sky which returns to BBC One at 9pm tomorrow.
The three-part series focuses on the threat of climate change and coastal erosion to historic sites as well as the impact of humans on Scotland’s landscape after centuries of living off the land.
Presenter and writer James Crawford said: “The second series continues the work we started with the first, with the view from above allowing us to tell the stories of Scotland’s past – and present – in new and immersive ways.”
Footage for the programme was filmed using a vintage Tiger Moth aircraft and modern drones.
The series also features David Harkin, a climate change scientist at HES, who shows viewers why the coast at Fort George, near Ardersier in the Highlands, is vulnerable to rising sea levels.
