Eric Zuelow completes film interview for BBC series on Scotland

Eric Zuelow, Ph.D., assistant professor of European history, in early June 2010, was filmed in an interview for the BBC's up-coming 6-part series "Grand Tours of Scotland." The program airs on BBC2 in October 2010. The interview dealt with Queen Victoria's first visit to Scotland and the role that her patronage played in making the country a major tourist destination during the second half of the nineteenth century. It will be part of the first episode: The Sporting Life.  The interview was shot at the Dunkeld House Hotel in Dunkeld, Scotland - site of the queen's first major experience with Highland culture in the form of a massive picnic and Highland display. More information about the program is available on Timeline Films, and Facebook.  Zuelow's recent book, Making Ireland Irish: Tourism and National Identity since the Irish Civil War, was awarded the 2009 James S. Donnelly, Sr. Prize for Books on History and the Social Sciences.
