New 10 part series for Channel 4

Channel 4 has commissioned Scotland's Golden Coast, a new 10 part series from Firecrest Films.

Celebrating the landscapes, people and culture of Scotland’s unsung coastline, the series will launch on More4 this year.

From the Moray Firth down to Eyemouth by the English Border, this is a coastline renowned for  stunning scenery, rich heritage and proud local communities.

Filmed during Scotland’s busy summer season, the series follows people who live and work along this remarkable coastline as they welcome visitors from near and far, balancing thriving local businesses with the responsibility of preserving the history, character and natural beauty of the places they are proud to call home. 

From the ancient woodlands and shifting dune forests of Tentsmuir, where the North Sea continues to add to the shoreline, to the puffin colonies of the Isle of May National Nature Reserve and the dolphin-rich waters of the Moray Firth, cameras will capture the landscapes and wildlife that make this golden coast such a treasure.

Those who live, work and holiday here showcase what makes it so unique, from the world’s only beach cricket club, to costal rowing, cliff jumping, and vibrant festivals. Scotlands sunniest corner produces a formidable larder of some of the country’s finest food, and an incredible setting in which to enjoy it. It’s a place of heritage, with steam trains, lighthouses, lidos and centuries old traditions, alongside modern entrepreneurialism – costal saunas, campervan tourism and kayak tours. 

Rich in character, culture and coastal charm, the series follows the tastemakers, entrepreneurs, artists, and fishermen who make Scotland's east coast so special.
