5.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting DVD, April 21, 2008
By Mary Garrett Engman (Panama City, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I saw this DVD set on Scotland on TV website. It was broken up in smaller parts. Having the entire series together is much easier to enjoy. Craig looks so very young, but he wrote and starred in this series and IF you like ancient history you will certainly enjoy this set of DVDs. It is worth the price and very good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light Archeology, March 13, 2009
A light approach to Scottish archaeology. You visit Roman ruins and baths, north islands, churches and ancient sewers. Professors and ministers help you understand what you are seeing. Craig Ferguson has the just right sense of humor to not take himself or the topic too seriously. You realize the Scots are making an effort to recognize, study and take care of their history while living in the present. You see how rocks have been moved and recycled for reuse in new buildings. You visit the Antoine "wall" and the remains of Roman forts. Scottish weather comes through - cold and windy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Craig knows his homeland well, June 24, 2009
Believe it or not, a documentary can be interesting and entertaining. This one is.Along with the obvious,his humor,Craig Ferguson goes to different parts of Scotland, talking to people who are experts on their particular area, walking the ground he's talking about.There's also quite a bit of local history included, which makes it even more interesting. All in all, well worth the money spent buying and the time spent watching.
