Starting in the home of golf, St Andrews, the boys take to the sands. No not a bunker, but rather the beach made famous by the movie Chariots of Fire to indulge in a spot of land yachting with brothers Jamie and Guy McKenzie.
Having swept the sand from their hair, it’s off to high tech Dundee to get to grips with the cyber city's position as a world gaming developer. They meet 4J co-founder Chris van der Kuyl who’s company makes the console edition of the biggest game in the world, Minecraft, to see what it would be like to literally be part of a game.
It’s then off to Abertay University who were the first to offer a degree in computer games to get a tour from lecturer Jung In and discover what other possibilities there are in the virtual landscape.
From high tech to lo-fi, the boys take a break from the future and indulge in a local tradition that dates back to the Vikings. They get hands on to help 5th generation smoker prepare the local delicacy, the Arbroath smokie on the atmospheric Auchmithie beach.
Next stop is Aberdeen, where the boys discover the East Coast’s burgeoning hip hop scene. They’re given a musical insight by Aberdonian rapper Ransom FA and meet Dundonian songstress India Rose in the park for an impromptu performance.
The boys then finally take to the mic to record some unforgettable words for local artist Chef in his recording studio.
The third episode of Scottish Fling will air on Thursday, September 22 2022 at 10pm on BBC Scotland.
