Be it a comedy, a drama or a gripping crime hit, Scotland has produced a number of iconic and well loved television programmes over the years.
Alongside musicians and filmmakers, Scotland punches well above its weight in the entertainment ranks and can challenge any country on the planet on its strength of television entertainment. But what is the best TV series ever produced in Scotland?
5. Taggart
The classic Scottish detective TV show first aired on our screens back in the 1980s as a team of police and Glaswegian police detective Taggart investigated a slew of crimes in the Maryhill area. If this hadn't been included, there would have indeed "been a murder". | Submitted Photo: Submitted
