Tuesday - Into the Forest with Petroc Trelawny

Join Petroc Trelawny live from Glen Affric in the Scottish Highlands and immerse yourself, accompanied by local musicians, in the sounds and cultural heritage of an ancient forest.

Join Petroc Trelawny live from Glen Affric in the Scottish Highlands, where recent planting exists alongside the ancient trees to create a unique and breathtaking landscape. Celebrated local musician Duncan Chisholm and his quartet will be playing live music inspired by the environment, and other guests join Petroc to explore the cultural heritage of the last remnants of the original Caledonian Forest. The programme includes Sounds of the Forest, a slow radio moment. Part journey of discovery, part refuge from the tumult of daily life, Radio 3 Breakfast brings the Forest to you.
