Royal wanderings around the Scottish countryside.
Euan McIlwraith crosses the Forth from South Queensferry to North Queensferry.
That's what Out of Doors senior producer Helen Needham discovered while the team were out and about recording interviews for our royal special on Saturday.
You may ask what the connection between an outdoor programme and the royals are - but they've left quite a mark - whether that's in how an area looks, their love of the Scottish countryside or in the myths and legends surrounding them.
So armed with history books, a play and a microphone we set out across Scotland exploring those royal connections.
Mark Stephen climbed up - where Macbeth was killed in the Shakespeare play - although not in real life.
Euan McIlwraith toured the places close to Queen Victoria's heart at .
And Helen Needham - and her size eights - walked to the footprint in the rock where our ancient kings were crowned.
We also visited , where Robert the Bruce's heart is buried, took a boat across the Forth between the Queensferries and headed out to , where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned.

All will be revealed on Out of Doors this weekend.
