Iain Robertson Rambles

This first episode follows Iain on the 47 miles from Glasgow to the halfway point at Crainlarich. Accompanying him on day one of his West Highland Way adventure is his Small Faces screen brother, Stephen Duffy, who walks with him on the first 20 miles, starting in Milngavie. On reaching Loch Lomond, he is joined by chef and restaurateur Guy Cowan and Takin’ Over the Asylum writer Donna Franceschild as the trio share a posh packed lunch on the banks as well as performing a dramatic dog rescue. Iain also makes a disastrous attempt at kayaking before catching up with River City co-star Lesley Hart in Crainlarich.

In the second episode, Bafta award-winning actor Iain Robertson takes on the last 52 miles of the iconic West Highland Way, joined by familiar faces along the way. Now a week into his West Highland Way adventure, Iain and his River City co-star Lesley Hart start with an easy six-mile walk from Crainlarich to Tyndrum. On his journey, an astonished Iain enters the mist-swirling valley of Glencoe, while a rained-off climb sees him reunited with Small Faces actor Stephen Duffy for an unscheduled, but welcome, day trip. With some challenges along the way, a relieved Iain makes it across the Devil’s Staircase, while he enjoys a cheerful day in the small town of Kinlochleven - a poignant pit-stop for Iain as it’s the place where his father grew up. With sore feet, and exhausted from his intrepid adventures, Iain finally descends into Fort William before ascending to the ceiling of Scotland by climbing Ben Nevis.
