Landward is a long-running Scottish television programme focusing on agricultural and rural issues, produced and broadcast by BBC Scotland.
This was broadcast on a monthly basis as an opt-out from the BBC's Farming programme, in order to concentrate on issues relevant to Scottish farmers.
In 1976 an increase in the output of farming and rural affairs programming led to the introduction of Landward.
[1] The issues which Landward addresses are generally those within the rural public consciousness of Scotland, itself a country with a large farming community.
From 1976 until 2007, it aired Sunday lunchtime, replacing the similar shows Farming and then later Countryfile which aired elsewhere in the UK; In 2007 Landward moved to a regular Friday evening slot, and replaced Countryfile only when it could not be shown in its usual slot (e.g. because of sports coverage).
