Michael Portillo embarks on a new series of railway adventures around the coasts of the British Isles in this new series of Great Coastal Railway Journeys.
Series One, Episode One: Dunbar to Edinburgh
An epic stretch of Scottish coastline is the first stop for Michael Portillo on his new series of coastal railway journeys around the British Isles.
Siccar Point, close to Dunbar on the Firth of Forth, was the site of an extraordinary 18th century discovery and is today a place of pilgrimage for earth scientists from across the world.
From North Berwick, Michael takes a boat out into the Firth to visit Bass Rock, a breeding ground for 150,000 Northern Gannets.
Episode Two: Leith to Culross
Michael Portillo continues his 500-kilometre Scottish coastal journey along the Firth of Forth at the railway engineering icon for which it is famous throughout the world – the Forth Bridge.
A highlight for rail travellers, Michael remembers his delight in the crossing as a child visiting his Scottish grandparents.
On the firth’s southern bank, Michael stops in the port of Leith to tour the Royal Yacht Britannia. Now decommissioned, she is moored as an attraction.
