Join Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith for the latest outdoor activities from Shetland to the Borders, plus the key stories for those who live and work in the countryside.
Is there a wild place in Scotland you've always wanted to visit but never found time to go? Mark Stephen kicks off a new series on Out of Doors this week called One Place I've Never Been, with an ascent of one of Scotland's most beautiful mountains, Suilven in Assynt. But after a tiring kayak across two lochs to the foot of the mountain, can he actually reach the top?
