    Being Sixteen in 2014

    For the first time ever in this country, 16- and 17-year olds have been given the right to vote and nearly 100,000 have registered to take part in the referendum on Scottish independence. Filmed over a year and all over Scotland, these two films offer a snapshot of what it's like to be 16 in 2014. In the second programme we meet football-mad Kieran in Wick, would-be actress Margot in Skye, apprentice joiner Gaelan in Shetland, musician Gregor in Kilmarnock and Amy-Jo from Kirriemuir who's learning to fly. They share their thoughts about family relationships, first love and their hopes and fears for the future.
