A new eight-part series starting on BBC Scotland this weekend is focusing on the three generations of the same family who run the Pettycur Bay Holiday Park in Fife – as well as some of their regular residents.

Run by the Wallace family for the past 40 years, Pettycur Bay Holiday Park in Fife has become one of Scotland’s biggest parks, with over 600 pitches and a leisure complex.

Although most of the pitches are static caravans, the park also takes tourers and motorhomes.

Life on the Bay starts on BBC Scotland this Sunday (9 January) at 9.30pm, and will focus on the Wallace family, including owner and manager Tom, his son Alan and his grandson Steven, and some of the loyal residents.

The first episode sees Tom, aged 82, and Steven install a new caravan, and also introduces the residents.

The second episode on the following Sunday sees spirits lifted as live entertainment on the site is allowed to resume.

Narrated by Edith Bowman, Life on the Bay is a Red Sky Productions series for BBC Scotland.
