What's the story?
Scotland on the telly.
Can you narrow it down?
As lockdown lumbers on we may all be stuck at home, but this week brings the chance to indulge in a spot of wanderlust from the comfort of our sofas as a trio of TV travel shows and their intrepid presenters traverse Scotland. Buckle up …
I'll need more information.
A new four-part series Darcey Bussell's Wild Coasts of Scotland (Monday, More4, 9pm) follows the former ballet star and Strictly Come Dancing judge as she traces her Scottish ancestry.
Bussell begins her odyssey on Skye where she tries scallops, learns about otters and goes wild swimming in honour of her late grandfather.
Then what?
Joanna Lumley's Home Sweet Home – Travels in My Own Land (Tuesday, STV, 8pm) has a jam-packed itinerary taking in Eilean Donan Castle (where Lumley once filmed an episode of The New Avengers), the Corryvreckan Whirlpool and a birl round Glasgow on a tour bus with comedian Janey Godley.
Who's next?
Susan Calman. As her Grand Day Out series draws to a close, the final episode (Friday, Channel 5, 8pm) sees Calman jump in her campervan and head for Loch Lomond, before visiting the Falls of Dochart and Inchbuie. The Kilpatrick Hills, Aberfoyle and Loch Tulla all make cameos.

A bit like buses, then?
Yup, you wait ages for a good travel show and three come at once.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
