Writer and actor Gerda Stevenson takes us on a walk around her local woodland, Newhall in Midlothian.

Euan delves into the history of a material used widely, especially in farming, that you might not know much about.

With the Royal Highland Show and all local agricultural shows cancelled this year, we find out about the online Scottish Agricultural Show and how people can get involved.

During lockdown many of us have been paying more attention to the birds that visit our gardens and bird tables. For writer and broadcaster Alison Craig one bird has not been a welcome visitor, the crow. On the other hand author Esther Woolfson loves crows and even had a pet Rook called Chicken. Can Esther persuade Alison that corvids aren鈥檛 that bad after all?

We鈥檙e heading into summer which in Scotland means a couple of things, rain and midgies. Mark recalls his worst ever experience of being eaten alive by midgies and tells us more about the pesky insects.

The village of Comrie in Perthshire has the rather interesting title of the earthquake capital of the UK. It is home to a building called the earthquake house where tremors are measured. To tell us all about it custodian of the house Chris Palmer joins us down the line.

And Euan has another mystery bird for us. This one is quite easy to pick out when you see it, but can you identify its call?
