Scottish historians discuss five legendary figures from Scottish history -- William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, James IV, Rob Roy, and Bonnie Prince Charlie -- documentary interview and tour guide style, making very abundant use of good footage from recent British movies about these men, plus some very fine scenery photography. Significant emphasis on the major battles they each fought (Falkirk, Bannockburn, Flodden, Culloden). The historians are good, and get all the facts straight and in sensible context in way readily understandable for those new to the topic and yet still interesting to those familiar with the subject, if only because the experts' accents are so genuine and delightful. The sound quality was very good (unlike many British productions). 50 minutes long, enjoyable the whole time. I'm getting copies for friends.
