From Shetland To Orkney - This documentary explores the north- sea-facing, eastern coast of Scotland and England, which offers powerful visual stimuli with its light, its atmosphere, its landscape and historic buildings. Life in the sparsely populated coastal regions of these two countries is archaic and has remained in close touch with nature: shaped by the Celts and Vikings, exposed to the forces of the elements and the North Sea. Endless expanses, dramatic cloud formations, hills, moors, forests and lakes characterise the region, as do the steep cliffs and long sandy beaches, fishing villages and lighthouses,castles, manors, parks and gardens.
