Scottish Travellers on BBC TV and iPlayer

This two-part observational documentary series is the culmination of nine months filming with two families - headed by Sammy Stewart and his brother-in-law Donald (above) - who hold to the travelling life rather than ‘settle’. The families agreed to be filmed despite the fact that many Travellers rarely talk to anyone outside their community.

The series follows them over a travelling season as they and their families move from urban Travellers’ sites, to contested pitches, to rural encampments, meeting various people and attitudes along the way, including ongoing friction with ‘the settled community’ and police attention.

This two part series is being shown on BBC Two and BBC Wales this on the 19th and 20th July 2011 and is available on BBC iPlayer on the internet. Each episode lasts for 60mins.
