It's time to get stuck into a new travel project! Join Stephen as he introduces the A Lap of Scotland: A man, a GoPro and a Dacia Duster. The idea was to record beautiful footage from Scotland's edges - the coastline and the border roads, perhaps inspiring more journeys or just to give you a chance to see this beautiful country from the comfort of your screen. See the links below for more.
