Scottish actor Martin Compston has revealed that he is strengthening his Gaelic skills while filming for new BBC documentary, Scottish Fling.
The Line of Duty star has been zipping around Scotland as he is joined by pal Phil MacHugh to film the six-part docuseries, and was in the Isle of Harris last week, the Scottish Sun reports.
The 37-year-old will visit every inch of our nation, from the busiest cities to the most native of the Highlands in order to discover "what makes Scotland tick".

The aim of the series is to look at how Scotland has been shaped by society and the population of this bonnie wee nation, and also take in some iconic scenery.
The documentary duo have been keeping followers updated with their long journey on social media, with videos, photos, and even some language skills.
And in MacHugh's latest snap, he shows off Compston's latest skill - the Scottish Gaelic language!
Posting on Instagram, Phil showed his followers a small glimpse of his Gaelic lessons with Martin in a cheery video.
The clip shows the pair sitting in a car, with Compston in the drivers seat as they converse in the native language of Scotland.

The first section of the video is captioned; "While our film crew set up...
"We learn Gaelic!"
And in the rest of the video, the pair laugh and joke as they have a short conversation in Gaelic, which is captioned: "Nailed it!"
Martin posted a photo a few days ago updating followers on his Scottish journey, captioning it: " Unforgettable few days. Only regret it’s taken me this long to discover just how incredible the Western Isles are.
"Be back before too long. Tapadh leat @iamphilmachugh #ScottishFling."
With the limited Gaelic skills in our locker, 'tapadh leat' means 'thank you' in Gaelic, a sweet gesture from Martin to his language teacher and friend Phil.
Fans all commented on Martin's Instagram post, with one user writing: "Martin - King of the Western Isles."
Another said: "Hope you met with the Eriskay Ponies while you were on Eriskay. Great buzz around the island while you were here."
And a third wrote: "So beautiful out there. Did Lewis to Barra in a motorhome. I’ve been to many places but that holiday was one of my best ever."
We hope to see Martin around the west coast soon enough, sharing his new Gaelic skills with the people of Glasgow and beyond!
