Down At The Beach

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.

Author and animal lover Esther Woolfson features in our most recent Scotland Outdoors podcast. We hear a clip where she tells Mark and Euan about her pet Corvids.

Mark finds out about limpets on a trip to the seaside.

Musician Anna Massie returns to Out of Doors with a wander around the beach at Clachtoll in Assynt.

And Euan takes us to one of his favourite beaches, Sandwood Bay.

Mark heads to St Fergus to find out all about the oft much maligned Gull.

Rachel Martin from the Aberdeen Cycle Forum joins us live on the programme to tell us about new cycle paths for Aberdeen Beach Boulevard and Esplanade.

When Euan visited Mull last week he chatted to Dave Sexton from the RSPB about the island’s white tailed eagles.

Last year Mark donned a wetsuit and had a go at snorkelling in Coldingham Bay near Eyemouth. We revisit his experience of the Berwickshire snorkel trail.

In a recent survey Scotland came out top of the UK in terms of whale and dolphin sightings. We find out more about what you can see from our shores and where is best to go to.

And Euan has another mystery bird for us- it’s easy when you know!
