Faintheart: An Englishman Ventures North of the Border
Ratings1
Average rating3
Stomping the quintessential Highlands from Inverness to Skye and risking frozen extremities to reach breathtaking Hebridean islands, Charles Jennings discovers a land of awe-inspiring beauty. Contemplating whether his great grandfather's legacy qualifies him to shed a tear at the sound of bagpipes, Jennings compares the elegance of Edinbugh with the industrial action of Aberdeen, risks a pint in Kelvinside, and sinks into the peaty bogs of Mull.

The jabs Jennings, as an Englishman,
makes at Scotland were, as a whole,
outside my experience, and would
have been better appreciated by
a Scot or a fellow Englishman. I
did enjoy following Jennings on a
mini-tour of Scotland though, at
times, I might have asked for a
bit of a more jovial host.
