Martin Compston shares snaps of filming new BBC travel documentary Scottish Fling

Martin Compston has shared some beautiful photographs of Scotland as part of his trip filming around the country for a brand new BBC documentary with Phil MacHugh.

The Line of Duty star took to his Instagram to post a happy-looking photo with Phil and other friends on an unknown hill in Scotland, with some calm waters and valleys in the background.

Martin was cheesing as he showed fans a little sneak preview of some of the places he has been visiting as part of his 'Scottish Fling' filming.

The main concept for the BBC Scotland show, called Scottish Fling, is to follow Martin and Phil as they set off on an immersive and personal journey to showcase what makes modern Scotland tick.

Martin also revealed to fans that he was learning some Scottish Gaelic (which Phil speaks fluently) as part of his documentary tour, speaking to locals about their thoughts on Scotland - and meeting the odd famous face too.

The Scottish actor also posted a calming video of his ferry journey on his Twitter account, with the caption: "Morning #Scottishfling."

He garnered lots of support in his replies, with people trying to figure out his location from the surrounding waters.

One Twitter user wrote: "Where is this? I spent 2 wonderful years on the Uists and this looked similar."

Another said: "Ahh put that view away…you’re showing off…"
