Information About

Bbc Scotland




BBC Scotland co-ordinates two of the country's five '' and the Gaelic language '' BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal ''.
  • BBC One Scotland (formerly, ''BBC Scotland on 1'') is the broadcaster's flagship station and offers a mixture of home-grown comedy, drama, news and current affairs programmes, as well as providing viewers with the main output from the BBC's UK network.

  • BBC Two Scotland (formerly, ''BBC Scotland on 2'') is really little more than an opt-out of the UK's ''BBC Two'' network. Daily opt-outs include regular news bulletins and a variety of Gaelic children's, youth and current affairs programming.


Despite its name, BBC Scotland's main rival, Scottish Television does not in fact broadcast throughout the entire country. Its transmissions are confined to the main population centres of the Central Lowlands , while Grampian Television , based in Aberdeen , covers the north of the country, and Border Television covers the south.

As well as producing programming for Scotland , as one of the larger BBC "regions", BBC Scotland also produces programming intended for the UK network. Recent prominent television series produced by or for BBC Scotland and shown on BBC One throughout the UK have included the drama series '' Monarch Of The Glen '' ( 1999 - 2005 ) and '' Sea Of Souls '' ( 2004 -).
