4.0 out of 5 stars Scotland from the Air DVD, 6 Nov 2006
I bought this DVD on the strength of the only existing review which gave the DVD five stars. I wasn't disappointed but on reflection I'll give it 4 stars. Basically it's very good and there are some stunning shots from the helicopter as it sweeps up glens and skims over lochs - I reckon the pilot must have taken the tops off a few trees he flies so low ! I'm knocking off one star for two reasons - firstly I think the production crew could have waited for sunshine for more of the shots as some scenes would have looked much better bathed in sunshine.Secondly production values occasionally slip a bit - what appears to be a wasp wanders over the camera from time to time and there is the odd shot of a trailing sound boom. All in all though it's a pretty good buy which I would recommend - how about a version No.2 taking in other areas of Scotland not covered here ? i.e. the Borders,Edinburgh,the Far North etc.etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment, 12 Mar 2007
By Epitonium (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I live in the west of Scotland and I looked forward to seeing aerial views of places that I knew. However, I was disappointed in this DVD. The helicopter flew very low for much of the time, barely clearing the trees, so what is seen is not really what I would consider to be an aerial view. I had hoped to be looking down on mountains I had climbed, but mountain summits were usually well above the level at which the helicopter was flying, and often the view shown was frustrating because I knew that there was dramatic scenery just out of the picture. The helicopter also had a tendency to follow rivers or railways and showed little of the scenery to either side. The commentary was informative, but had to compete with a musical background which tended to be too obtrusive.

If you don't live in Scotland, you might not be so aware of what you are missing and could find more to enjoy than I did.

Don't miss the bonus footage which contains some of the best scenery and mountain shots.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!!!!, 27 April 2008
By P. Hyde "Country Lover" (SHROPSHIRE) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
FANTASTIC - FANTASTIC - FANSTATIC!!!!

Anybody that has been to Scotland should buy this excellent value for money dvd. Shelley and I have been to most of the places shown in this film and to see them from the air is awe inspiring.

This will be an excellent gift to any relative, perhaps getting on in years - who has visited Scotland in the past (or not). They may now be confined to the boring coach trips to Scotland. I know I can no longer get up them hills and to see the magnificient mountains from the air was bliss.


It is sheer value for money at £2.50p - in windscreen and excellent stereo on my home cinema systems. With the helicopter just brushing the trees and the midge on the camera lens, what reality. We cannot wait for our next trip and hope to soon purchase a motor caravan for extended trips to the Scottish Highlands. Really nice people there too!!

I just hope they make some more - please - please.

Many thanks - Peter & Shelley.
