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.

Euan talks Brexit trade deals with senior agricultural economist with the Scottish Rural College, Steven Thomson.

Mark finds out what the different special designations for our land and habitat mean when it comes to planning permission. Scottish Natural Heritage provide advice and guidance to developers and their planning and renewables manager Peter Hutchison explained more.

Euan brings us some dawn chorus from Glen Tanar after his mammoth broadcast last weekend.

The South Atlantic British overseas territory of South Georgia was invaded by rats that came on whaling boats in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Recently a multi-million pound project led by Scottish charity the South Georgia Heritage Trust undertook to rid the island of the rodents. Euan finds out if they have been successful.

The Garioch Heritage centre has made its home at the former Inverurie Loco Works. Mark went for a look round and to meet some of the men who worked there in the 1960s.

Perthshire is famed for its big trees and Euan went to hear the story of one of them.

We find out more about the badger as Scottish Badger Week draws to a close.
