Active Travel and Heather Morning

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.

Mark speaks to Ian Findlay, chief officer of charity Paths for All about how our habits are changing in terms of how we travel around the country.

Euan gets the latest news from Highlands and Islands Enterprise on Cairngorm Mountain as well as chatting to folk heading out on the slopes about what they think about the future of the area.

Mark meets a stone mason passing on his skills at Historic Environment Scotland’s Engine Shed in Stirling.

Stonehaven CoastSnap is a new project that allows members of the public to be actively involved in collecting beach monitoring data. Mark goes to find out more.

Euan is in Aberdeenshire visiting a farm where the owners have recently built a path to improve access to the outdoors for the local community.

And Mark and Euan spend some time speaking to Heather Morning. Heather is mountain safety advisor with Mountaineering Scotland and is based at Glenmore Lodge in the Cairngorms.

She tells them about growing up on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and spending time in the outdoors with her family before eventually moving into outdoor education and training as an instructor herself. They chat about her experiences in the hills and some of her personal highlights.
