Commissioned by BBC Scotland and presented by archaeologist Neil Oliver, A History of Scotland is a highly ambitious and thought-provoking series that brings a fresh perspective to the big questions posed by Scotland's turbulent past. It challenges many of the perceived notions of Scottish history and broadens the viewers' perception of what makes Britain. The series will tell gripping tales of battles and allegiances, political intrigue and religious conflict, using CGI to bring this to life and extraordinary aerial shots, showing the superb locations and variety of Scotland's landscape.
