Logo for A Picture of Britain - Highlands and Glens

David Dimbleby takes a trip around Britain to see how the countryside has inspired art's greatest paintings. He visits the Scottish Highlands, taking in Edwin Landseer's Monarch of the Glen, and crosses the Irish Sea to examine the paintings of Paul Henry, who came to Achill for a holiday and stayed on for years. Dimbleby's return trip takes him to the island of Staffa.
