One Wild Winter in the Scottish Mountains will be shown on BBC One Scotland at 21:00 on Wednesday.
The winter of 2012 was one of the coldest, longest and busiest on record in the Scottish mountains. It was also one of the deadliest. Fourteen lives were lost as extreme weather and a series of lethal avalanches hit the Highlands.
Blending dramatic archive material and footage recorded by people who live, work and play in this environment, this film will reveal what really happened on the mountains and find out how a major meteorological phenomenon helped shape what was truly a unique winter.

Great watch wasn't it. We do live in a truly spectacular and stunning country, one many take for granted and without realising just how brutal it can be at times.
