概要

 From the telephone and penicillin to golf and the steam engine, this nation of 5.5 million helps shape our world. But beyond the inventions, dramatic Highland landscapes, and Outlander filming locations lies a more complex story that every traveler should understand before visiting. In this episode of Wherever It Leads…, journalist Grace Hills takes you deep into Scotland's soul—from the geological forces that created Ben Nevis and Loch Ness to the dark history of witch trials that claimed thousands of lives, 85% of them women. Through conversations with tour guides Lesley and James Kennedy from Tour Guide Scotland and historian Juniper Claybourne from Witches Tour Edinburgh, you'll discover what makes this country extraordinary while confronting the challenges it faces today. With roughly 1 million American visitors annually, Scotland is experiencing serious growing pains. Edinburgh hosts 5 million tourists in a city of 530,000 residents. The Isle of Skye's 10,000 residents sometimes welcome 2,000 cruise passengers in a single weekend. Grace provides concrete strategies for visiting responsibly—from supporting local businesses to timing your trip strategically—so you can be part of the solution rather than the problem. Because Scotland's beauty isn't just for us to behold, it's for future generations to enjoy.
