Reception
Despite being hailed by BBC Scotland as "one of its most ambitious projects ever",[6] the show has not been without controversy. There have been some claims, on the website of the BBC, that the programme made some errors. Further, the 10-part series has come under fire over claims that it is too "anglocentric".[7]
