... there are thousands of great books out there!

But for entertainment, this is quite fun. I found I liked Susan Calman more than I'd expected; she has a bubbly personality and is unpretentious about the subject matter.

If you're looking for a history documentary on Scotland, this is not the program you want. On the other hand, if you want a bit of scenery, some lesser-known facts about popular tourist areas, a dash of local colour, and an absolutely delightful host, you'll love Secret Scotland.

Thus far, the show has taken us to Edinburgh, Stirling, and St. Andrews (along with a few assorted small towns in the surrounding areas). Even as an American, I've been to many of the sites Mrs. Calman visits - but I love that she highlights some of the more unique and unusual aspects of the locations. It makes me want to go back, even though there are still so many UK destinations I've yet to visit a first time.

Episode 3 goes up to Loch Ness, and I'm probably most excited for that one. The endearingly-eccentric Nessie expert Adrian Shine makes an appearance, and I'm more than a little jealous of the host for getting to meet him.

If you enjoy a bit of Scottish scenery presented by a host who just radiates kindness and general pleasantness, definitely check this one out.

I decided to watch this as being Scottish I am interested in Scottish history. The first programme went from Edinburgh straight to St Andrews, bypassing Dunfermline which was the ancient capital and bypassing Kirkcaldy, home of Adam Smith. The pieces were very short and more about how Calman felt about everything, rather than being historical. I watched the second episode hoping it would get better, but it did not. She is marginally less irritating than Neil Oliver, but again it's the Susan Calman Show rather than Secret Scotland. As I lay person I would venture to say that I know more Scottish History, despite being brought up abroad, than Ms Calman. I regret I wasted my time.

I just tried to watch this show being Scottish. The unattractive, unfunny and really annoying host ruined it for me. I have no idea who she is, but she looks like she hasn't showered in a week, she seemed to really annoy some of the people she talked with and she is not funny. With her presenting, I won't bother watching it again. Its a shame as most people watching will see her and think she represents Scotland. She doesn't, get someone with a nice personality who doesn't feel the need to put their stupid thoughts on everything. No one cares what you think Calman.
