Michael Palin turns 82 today.

The actor, comedian, writer, and television presenter, whose travel documentaries have taken him all over the world, has often spoken fondly of Scotland.

In 2020, he told The Guardian: "I discovered the west coast of Scotland, which I think is still one of the most remarkably beautiful places, when we were doing Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

"We went up to Scotland because we couldn’t afford to film in studios in London, and up in Scotland the scenery is free.

"We would travel up on the train, leaving Euston and the crowded south-east corner of England and end up in the morning at a station called Bridge of Orchy, which was surrounded by waving grass as far as you could see.

"Then we would drive down through Rannoch Moor, which is as bleak and wild and romantic a place as you could imagine in the British Isles, and then into Glen Coe itself with extraordinary mountains on either side.

"The west coast of Scotland combines the most beautiful scenery with a sort of accessibility."
