Flying Through History: Season 1, Episode 2

1 - 2: Dalquharran Castle

This is the story of a castle within a castle - Medieval and Georgian gems - both hidden in a remote Scottish forest. The more recent Dalquharran Castle, located in Ayrshire, Scotland, was designed by architect Robert Adam, leader of the British Classical revival, and is considered a masterpiece. This series of short documentaries offers a dynamic perspective on British history through hard-to-access places and untold stories. Agile drones bring us to historic locations we would not normally be able to visit, and enable us to see them from angles and heights we'd never be able to experience otherwise. As well as the historical information, the films are intended to be a visceral viewing experience in which the sheer pleasure of flying through narrow spaces and into apertures is at the core. The distinctive, entertaining narration is delivered by the popular British comedian Paul Chowdhry, who mixes a fascination for history with an irreverent, surreal sense of humour.
