Euan McIlwraith talks to a group campaigning for more national parks, plus a visit to the Mugdrum Cross to try to unravel the mysteries of Pictish symbols.
Scotland only has two national parks...Euan talks to the campaign group that thinks we should have more. But, how many and where should they be? Plans to help restore Scotland's fast declining capercaillie population and the beaver conundrum facing the UK if ministers approve their re-introduction in Scotland. Mark visits the Mugdrum Cross to try to unravel the mysteries of Pictish symbols, the new legislation which could make it illegal to kill a salmon in Spring and we hear Scottish Land and Estates' reaction to the new laws aiming to stamp out bird of prey persecution. Euan gets festive in the forest and finds out how to choose the best Christmas tree. Why there are more dead badgers seen on our roads at certain times of the year, wildlife photography with Hugh Harrop in Shetland plus restoring a 17th Century walled garden.
