Glasgow Schools Games

With the London Olympic Games due in 2012 the UK decided to create a new “Schools Games” to identify and encourage fresh talent for the future. The very first one was held in Glasgow, and we went there to spot the stars of the future. Robert takes a trip down to Kirkcudbrightshire to the birthplace of the founder of the US Navy - John Paul Jones. With Prof Ted Cowan, they visit where he lived and went to school - and also take a look at Whitehaven - the English fishing port he attacked on behalf of America. In Edinburgh Fiona finds out how weaver James Donald is combining traditional skills with fabulous contemporary designs. Then we return to the Schools Games to see how the finals are shaping up.
