Architecture critic Meades celebrates Aberdeen, the granite city full of 'brand new' 300-year-old buildings.
Episode 2
Architecture critic Jonathan Meades continues his quixotic tour of Scotland. Genealogy, or 'ancestral tribalism', gets Meades's goat as he travels from Stirling to the isle of Lewis and Harris, a strange, sometimes rusty paradise. Here he discovers serenity, Calvinism and peat bog bodies.
Episode 3
Architecture critic Jonathan Meades concludes his quixotic tour of Scotland in Fife. Driving around a number of lower league football towns, he celebrates an oil refinery, takes potshots at overpaid footballers and extols the virtues of Irn Bru as a tanning agent.
