BBC - Making Scotland's Landscape (2010) Part 3 The Sea

Making Scotland's Landscape

Professor Iain Stewart presents a landmark five-part series in which he reveals how Scotland's unique and beautiful landscape has been shaped over the centuries. In a country celebrated for its unique 'natural' beauty, he reveals how every square inch of Scotland's landscape has been affected by centuries of human activity.

Part 3: The Sea

Professor Stewart reveals how hearts and not heads have ruled the least understood landscape of them all - the sea. The public's emotions have played a key role in the fate of Scotland's maritime creatures and the upshot has been a form of lottery. While some species like seals and sea birds have been protected, others - like cod - have been fished nearly out of existence.
