In the first thirty minutes...

Imagine it...your very own retreat in the countryside. Living the simple life in a hut or cabin and connecting with nature. This is the norm for many Europeans already but only for a small number of Scots. But there's a movement afoot to bring hutting culture into the collective consciousness here. Realising that dream is precisely what Reforesting Scotland is attempting to do. This week they hosted a Hutters' Rally attended by people who have an interest in huts. Mark and Euan went along too to try and find out how easy it is to build a hut and the various hurdles we need to overcome to make the dream a reality.

After the news...

Euan learns about the past and future of the Caledonian Canal.

Mike Grundon fulfils a lifetime's ambition by riding up the Fort Augustus locks on an old barge.

Mark hears the story behind the iconic Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge.

Are feral pigs a bane or a boon? Euan discusses their impact in the woods of Glengarry.

And Mark takes a broader view of the Great Glen by walking and cycling the area.
