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.
We're exploring two tiny islands, each with its own fascinating history. Mark Stephen takes a boat trip around Holy Island off Arran to see Buddhist paintings, ancient rock formations and goats clinging to vertiginous slopes. And Euan McIlwraith is exploring Stroma, an island isolated by savage weather and strong tides, and all but abandoned by its population in 1901.
