The Repair Shop on the Road
East Lothian - Saving the Musselburgh Carriage
Season 1 of 15
Will Kirk and Kirsten Ramsay head to Musselburgh, on Scotland's east coast. It's a town boasting a proud heritage that is celebrated each year with a procession led by their elected Honest Lad and Honest Lass. However, for the past few years, the antique carriage these local luminaries ride in has been off the road. Restoring the carriage is a huge job that requires the skills of local signwriter Ross Hastie and wheelwright Greg Rowland, and made more complicated by the impending deadline of this year's festival. Plus, a unique musical instrument needs some tender loving care, and Will gets a makeover at Scotland's oldest bespoke tailors
The Repair Shop on the Road airs on BBC One South West at 4:30 PM, Friday 14 February. (Audio Description, subtitles, new.)
