Rampant Scotland Dec '06

Edinburgh and Glasgow - And Beyond

Handheld Productions, based in Campsie Glen, has produced two DVDs which cover the rich history, architecture, entertainment and tourist attractions of Edinburgh and Glasgow - and beyond, to many popular central Scotland locations. So, in addition to the sights of both the Capital and Scotland's largest city, the DVDs take you on a journey to such locations as Stirling, Fife, Perth, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders as well as Inveraray, The Trossachs, Culross in Fife and the Falkirk Wheel (to name just some of the places covered). While many of the sights are well trodden, as someone who travels extensively in central Scotland, I was surprised at the number of locations I had to add to my personal list of places to visit. The photography is stunning (mainly taken on lovely sunny days, of course) and the commentary informative. Each DVD is an hour long and covers a lot of ground at a cracking pace - so it's the sort of DVD that merits several viewings. It has been produced in dual format, so can be played on both NTSC or PAL equipment. Their Web site features a slide show of some of the images and short video clips to persuade you that you should purchase the full product. See Beyond the Cities.
