June is the perfect time to mix it up a bit.

Together TV’s got a fresh line-up of TV highlights for June 2025, with classic British films, scenic documentaries and hidden gems you won’t find elsewhere on the telly.

So if you’re after a few good reasons to stay in (or step out), stick the kettle on and read on – we’ve rounded up the best of both.

Also, please look at the round up of the best creativity groups in Scotland you should definitely look into.

What’s On TV This June 

All shows are available on:

Freeview 83 | Sky 170 | Virgin 136 | Freesat 162 or watch live here

Richard Wilson’s Highland Fling
First on air: 28 June, 6:00 PM
Richard Wilson – yes, Victor Meldrew himself – heads back to the Highlands and Islands to reconnect with his roots. It’s scenic, thoughtful, and full of character. A proper treat.

Blood On Satan’s Claw
First on air: 19 June, 12:00 AM
A buried skull, strange behaviour, and something not quite right in the village… this folk horror classic delivers old-fashioned chills with a very British twist.

House of Whipcord
First on air: 21 June, 12:00 AM
When a young model is trapped in a sinister reform school, things quickly turn dark. Dramatic and a bit shocking – for fans of vintage thrillers.

Doomwatch
First on air: 14 June, 8:00 PM
Strange mutations and a government cover-up on a remote island. One of those classic British films that feels strangely modern all these years later.

The Musketeer
First on air: 10 June, 10:00 PM
Featuring Kevin McNally, an award-winning spin on the old Three Musketeers tale that will leave you wanting for more.

Still Worth a Watch: Familiar Favourites Returning This June

Alongside our brand new telly picks, there are a few familiar faces and comforting classics popping back up on Together TV this month. Perfect for when you want something reliable, a bit uplifting, and not too heavy.

Here’s what to keep an eye out for:

Garden Rescue (Series 7 & 8)
Charlie Dimmock and the team are back, working their magic on gardens across the country. They’re full of tips for small spaces and shoestring budgets – and there’s always a nice bit of banter too. Great if you’re pottering about with your own patch.

Rare Breed – A Farming Year
Follow farming families as they deal with calving, crops, and everything in between. It’s a lovely reminder of the rhythm of the countryside – and if you grew up in or near a farming community, there’ll be plenty that feels familiar.

The Great House Giveaway
Strangers are handed the keys to a doer-upper and told to renovate it on a tight deadline. Sometimes they nail it, sometimes it’s a bit of a shambles – but that’s all part of the fun. If you like a bit of DIY with a human touch, this one’s for you.

Try Something New with Creative Lives in Scotland

If Richard Wilson’s scenic wanderings get you thinking it might be time to do something different too, Creative Lives has just the thing.

They support all sorts of local groups where people get together to sing, sew, paint, chat, or just try something new. And the best part? Most are completely free or just a few pounds.

They’ve even built a handy Creativity Map so you can search for something near you:
creative-lives.org/creativity-map

You’ll find:

• Men’s sheds and woodwork groups
• Knitting circles and craft clubs
• Photography and painting meetups
• Choirs, ukulele groups and storytelling nights

It’s not about being good at it – it’s about joining in.

Free and Friendly Things to Do in Scotland This June

If you fancy a proper day out, there are still some brilliant options that don’t cost the earth. Here's a few of our favourites:

Falkirk Wheel – Visit for Free
You can explore the grounds, watch the boats and take in the engineering marvel without spending a penny. The boat trips cost extra, but just seeing the wheel in action is worth the visit.

The Helix Park & The Kelpies – Falkirk
A short stroll from the Wheel, Helix Park is home to walking paths, open green spaces and The Kelpies – two giant horse-head sculptures that are even more impressive in real life. Free to visit and lovely for a picnic.

National Museum of Scotland – Edinburgh
Fancy a day indoors with plenty to look at? This museum has it all – from dinosaurs to Dolly the sheep. It’s free to enter and a brilliant option for curious minds.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum – Glasgow
Free to enter and full of variety – from paintings and natural history to old weapons and the famous flying Spitfire. There’s something for everyone here.

The Writers' Museum – Edinburgh
Tucked away just off the Royal Mile, this charming little spot celebrates Robert Burns, Walter Scott, and Robert Louis Stevenson. A peaceful escape into Scotland’s literary past – and it won’t cost you a thing.

Scottish Poetry Library – Edinburgh
Small but packed with heart. Browse poetry, read quietly or enjoy one of their events – completely free and open to everyone.

Leith Festival – Edinburgh (14–22 June)
A lively community festival with music, theatre and open days. Plenty of free events happening throughout the week – perfect if you’re nearby.
