As the profits from grass and gold offered unprecedented levels of provincial prosperity in the 1860s, the dream of an exclusively Free Church colony in Otago was finally laid to rest. The Scottish and Presbyterian roots endured, however, and ensured that Otago and Southland would remain New Zealand’s historic Scottish heartland.

An excellent documentary. I loved the myriad details of the people, the travel, the work, the land, and all the locations visited and filmed to achieve this and bring everything to life. Sean is such a dynamic and knowledgeable scholar/storyteller and the whole documentary has been a delight to watch. Not having been taught any N.Z. history at school, this documentary certainly made up for the lack of history taught in our schools, about the place where I live. Good on you Toitu for making this priceless documentary possible.

As the great, great grandson of James Adam, this series has been fascinating. I have a copy of the book he wrote at home along wirh some other things of his from the family homestead in Bon Accord outside of Milton.
