Grand Tours of Scotland

A Bed for the Night (3x4)

Air date: Sep 28, 2012

The search for a comfortable bed for the night is a challenge that has faced tourists coming to Scotland for two centuries. Some early traveller accounts are very complimentary about the hospitality they received while others are not quite so favourable, and the same could probably be said by tourists today ! In this episode, Paul Murton travels from the shores of the Firth of Forth into the depths of rural Perthshire, and his trip requires him to bed down in everything from a hippy 'Yurt' to the exclusive Lochnagar suite at the Gleneagles Hotel.
