Other copies avaliable submitted by alaskafreedom on January 31, 2016, 5:51pm The library also has individual copies of each disk in this series--click the series link on the left side. Requesting these copies will save you a long wait for this excellent show. Very informative, with the narrator enthusiastically delivering the material, in his strong Scottish brogue accent. The cinematography is phenomenal, with the use of creative angles, and framing that create a dynamic visually treat of Scotland's beauty! Disk 5 is all about Ireland.
