Gold

Scotland has been blessed with some of the most exciting of gemstones, but knowing where to find them is the secret. A rare edition of 'Scottish Gem Stones' by W J McCallien led Kenneth to the discovery of the riches to be found on Scotland's mountains and shores. In the first episode, Kenneth tells the story of Scotland's short-lived gold rush in 1869, when 600 gold miners made their way to Sutherland in the hope of a major find. Kenneth searches for the elusive treasure himself, and reflects on his experiences in poetry. Presenter Kenneth Steven Producer Mark Rickards A Whistledown Scotland Production
