Britain’s most-watched TV show takes place in a castle built by an opium trader surrounded by destructive non-native pine plantations. This is Scotland without Scots, writes Adam Ramsay - and English people can’t get enough of it.
“ Encompassed by violent street gangs, neglectful parents, bullying teachers and a dearth of positive role models, a studious but emotionally abandoned kid turns thug.”
Sounds like a right laugh a minute, but I’m going to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation.

It is marvellous. Tyrannosaur and The Magdalene Sisters are other gems of the director Peter Mullan. Dark and heavy, but great.
Tyrannosaur was directed by Paddy Considine.
