In this film, James Crawford uses remarkable aerial images to find out the Scots have harnessed our precious natural resources to power the counytry's industry. He combines old aerial photographs with present-day drone and helicopter footage to tell a range of tales, from a ‘slate island’ on the west coast, and remote loch near Ullapool to the Carron ironworks of Falkirk and the iconic site of Ravenscraig steelworks.
