Portable Saunas, The Shieling Project, and the Changing Trees

Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith with stories from the great outdoors.

Shielings are small dwellings which were used in the past over the summer months when people took cattle and sheep to the higher pastures. Mark goes to visit Dr Sam Harrison who established the Shieling Project near Beauly a few years ago with the aim of connecting with the practices of the past to ensure a more resilient future, particularly for children.

Have you been noticing the seasonal changes of the trees creeping later this year? We speak to David Knott of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to find out why the colours of trees seem to be changing much later.

Some father/daughter time as Mark and Jessica go paddleboarding!

Helen and Mark meet with Justine Leahy on Loch Lubnaig as she introduces them to her portable Sauna.

Mark visits with Gourock based artist Julie Wilks as they celebrate all that is good and great in Scotland through Oil and Canvas.

Mark and Helen also speak with Tomas Lars Hansson who created Oslo鈥檚 first ever floating saunas! He hopes they will make their way over to the UK one day.
