Dougie finds out about the Spey Currach, a traditional craft similar to a Coracle, used to steer rafts of logs down the River in the 19th century. The Currachs were originally made by stretching animal skins over a wooden frame. Modern day Currach builder, Jane Wilkinson, makes them by stretching canvas over a wooden frame and painting it with Bitumen. After explaining the history of the Currach, Jane gives Dougie a lesson in steering the craft on the Spey.
