John Galt's 1821 masterpiece of small-town Scottish life. Reverend Micah Balwhidder continues his account of his fifty year ministry in a rural parish.
Episode 1: Balwhidder's appointment in 1760 tears the community apart as the young minister is placed in his post by an absentee landowner - inciting the rage of the parishioners.
Episode 2: Balwhidder remembers how news of trouble in the Americas trickled through to the sleepy town of Dalmailing in 1769.
Episode 3: It's 1776 and change is in the air as the outside world intrudes upon rural Dalmailing.
Episode 4: Incomers from America bring changes to the sleepy parish of Dalmailing, and the second Mrs Balwhidder's extreme thriftiness causes a rift with the session.
Episode 5: Settled in his study at the end of his career, Balwhidder remembers the loss of a dear friend and the shocking events at the cotton mill which changed Dalmailing for ever.
