Set in Aberdeen and starring rising talents Romario Simpson and Hannah Donaldson, Granite Harbour is a new three-part drama series for BBC One, BBC Scotland and BBC iPlayer.

Granite Harbour centres on the story of Lance Corporal Davis Lindo who arrives in Aberdeen as a new recruit to Police Scotland.

Having completed his final tour with the Royal Military Police, Lindo dreams of being a detective at New Scotland Yard.  However, he finds himself being sent to train as a Detective Constable in the North East of Great Britain, where he must quickly adapt to his new life in the city, a world away from anything he has known before.

Lindo finds an ally in his mentor, DCI Lara Bartlett, a razor-sharp, streetwise Aberdonian who is used to going solo.  Together, this unlikely partnership must navigate the choppy waters of their first case: the murder of one of Aberdeen's most recognisable faces from the oil industry.  Suddenly, Lindo and Bartlett find themselves thrust into a corporate battle between old and new energy.

The high-profile death stuns the city, leading to a murder investigation with historic roots as trainee Detective Davis Lindo is thrown in at the deep end, forced to navigate a city and a force completely alien to him.

Granite Harbour premieres on the BBC Scotland channel, followed by BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

All three episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer from Thursday 1 December.

Granite Harbour is part of BBC Scotland’s co commissioning drama strategy which includes Guilt and Mayflies. These titles further enhancing the growing list of BBC drama made in Scotland such as Shetland, Vigil and The Control Room.

Granite Harbour is made by LA Productions.
