Travel can do amazing things: broaden horizons, build relationships, and rejuvenate the soul. But often, those experiences come at a cost. This is Peak Travel, a new podcast from WHYY about how travel shapes communities in hot-spots around the world. We’ll share the wonder that comes with exploring new places, as well as the harm that our worst travel habits can cause. And we’ll try to figure out how we can do it better. Each episode transports you to a new destination. You’ll meet the people who call that place home, hear their stories, and come to understand how tourism has changed their everyday lives. Supported by rich, on-location sound from around the world, Peak Travel unpacks the $1.9 trillion travel industry and its impact on people and the planet.

Contemporary and historical; culinary and cultural; reminiscence and anecdote - from accommodation to zoos, the chat will range across the entire alphabet of topics and issues that are live and happening in Scotland right now.

In our last episode we chatted about the tiny Fife burgh of Culross and how it has come to the world’s attention as a location for the filming of Outlander. We continue the theme in this episode and look at other iconic films and series that have chosen Scotland as their backdrop. From Marvel to Bollywood it seems as if producers just can’t get enough of our big skies and mysterious glens.…

Following on from our previous episode on Royal Burghs we take a visit to one close to home. Spelt Culross but pronounced Coo-Ross, this burgh stands in a 17th C time warp, due to a great storm that caused its residents to abandon it. Rescued and restored by the National Trust for Scotland, a walk through the village now provides an insight into its religious origins and the trades and technologies through which it prospered.…

In this episode we take to the high seas as we explore the growing demand for luxury cruising. We look at the origins of the cruise industry in transporting mail and passengers and how it developed so that the journey became more important than the destination. Initially the preserve of the rich and famous it has evolved to become accessible to all. Scotland has capitalised on this demand and cruise passengers now make a major contribution to the economy - but success doesn’t come without its challenges.…

Burgh. It’s the word that never fails to trip up visitors to Scotland. Is it pronounced BURG, or maybe BURROW? No - it’s BURRA. In this episode we talk about these settlements which were first established by David I back in the 12th C. As a result of the trading rights they enjoyed, they prospered and grew and many remain as important towns today. They can often be recognised by their market cross with its unicorn or “puggy” on top. Listen in to this week’s episode to find out more!…

Prompted by a recent visit to the counties of Southern England, Liz and Helen reflect on their experience of life in England and the ways in which it differs from their well-kent Scottish way of life. While losing your way on a Sunday stroll in Scotland may lead to a longer detour home, with no Right to Roam in England, it may lead to a criminal conviction for trespass!…

In this episode we look at some of the features of the Scottish character that have enabled Scots to survive and prosper. We look in particular at the Scots who helped found the United States of America and who thrived as bankers, industrialists, politicians, judges, inventors and artists …… to name but a few. Emigrants celebrated their Scottish heritage in their new home and many of today’s celebrities continue to celebrate their Scottish roots.…

From its heyday in the Victorian era, the fortunes of Dundee declined as traditional industries were lost and employment became hard to find. We look at the post-war years and the efforts that were made to find success in light engineering. While there were many successes these too were doomed to failure and towards the end of the 20th C the city once again found itself on its uppers. However, Dundee is not known as the "City of Discovery" without reason. With typical resilience and optimism the city is rediscovering itself as a cultural centre and tourist destination with its mega-million pound Waterfront Regeneration Project, including the flagship V&A museum.…

Over the next two episodes we take a look at the travel destination that is on everyone's lips at the moment - Dundee. Scotland's fourth largest city has not always been on the radar of overseas visitors planning a trip to Scotland but all that is changing as Dundee becomes HOT! In this first episode we look at how the wealth of Dundee was generated and how that wealth is still visible in some of the grand buildings still standing today. From Royal burgh to Juteopolis we look at the city's development and the impact this has had on its social history. With both of us having roots in Dundee there's plenty of anecdote!…
