Brilliant. He captures the tortured spirit of Scotland perfectly. A land both revolting and beautiful at the same time, only Jonathan Meades can lay bare the tortuous contradictions of this bizzare country so convincingly. Can anyone take up his geological argument further and reverse the tectonic shifts and re-route Scotland back to Greenland again?

Can we just sic him on the universe like a cerebral badger?

I have been taking seeping bags of hospital waste for granted lately.

ah now thats not fair, I was up in Belfast last week and it has some fantastic architecture, and even new buildings in the form of Victoria mall which I liked. It is shaped like a cork screw and different to other malls in that it is not heated except for the shops internally.

Great programme though, only seen it first time tonight!! :)

"Mawkish going on the full mawk" - love it. I could watch Meades all day - in fact, since discovering MeadesShrine on YouTube I have.

Does anyone know what the music used at the very beginning is?

[MysteryOfTheFence]

Basil Kirchin, 'Heart of the North' (1966) from his "Abstractions of the Industrial North". Kirchin an absolute genius in his field...

Thank you very much. Enjoying what snippets I could find of the rest of the album now.
