I don't know I would go so far as to offer any special credit to the History Channel, as I've seen them air more than one grossly inaccurate show.

The Lost World program was actually a rather interesting one and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in Scotland's history. The material was being presented by serious students of that history, and whilst some of it was obvious conjecture, it was being proposed by individuals with learned backgrounds in their respective fields.

Having had the opportunity to become acquainted with a couple of the people interviewed for the production, and to have actually visited some of the historic sites with them made it all the more interesting to me.
