Summary
Paul Murton travels from Loch Gairloch to Loch Maree, along the way meeting the `king and queen" of Islonia, matching a medieval feat of archery, diving to a wartime wreck in Loch Ewe and finding himself short-changed at a money tree
Review
Paul Murton’s loch-hopping journey reaches Gairloch on the north-west coast of the Scottish mainland, where lobsters are the fishermen’s main quarry. Among the haul is the aptly named scorpion fish, whose sting can make your leg swell up to twice its size. Murton wryly tells us they’re “definitely not edible”.
At Loch Ewe, it’s difficult to believe a place with the same latitude as Canada’s
frosty Hudson Bay could harbour a sub-tropical paradise, with Tasmanian eucalyptus among the shrubs. These gentle surprises are one of the joys of this heart-warming series; another is the way Murton happily takes a pop at someone grand (eg Queen Victoria) in such a genial manner.
