Series which examines the dramatic development of rural housing In Scotland over the years. Builder Ewen MacKinnon, who has a passion for the beauty of construction, takes us on a fascinating and revealing road trip through Scotland's rural housing landscape - telling a story of place, people and home.

The first programme takes a look at some examples of the earliest dwellings in Scotland, dating back to the Iron Age. We explore their key qualities, and see what they teach us about those who lived there. Amongst the buildings we visit are the impressive Isle of Lewis stone structures, the Bosta Iron Age House in Uig, the Norse Mill in nearby Shawbost and the Carloway broch. These structures have also inspired numerous impressive new island homes.

We also find out about the fascinating wooden crannogs, which were built on Scotland's lochs, and visit a unique reconstruction in Perthshire.
