Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith look at Land Reform, the Ballater flood revisit, meteors, lambing, foraging, the Summer Isles, Glasgow's first food forest and Cape Wrath.
In the first thirty minutes...
MSPs voted through the Land Reform Act 2016 this week. Dr Calum Macleod from the School of Geosciences at Edinburgh University shares his perspective on this significant new legislation.
Mark revisits Ballater after December's damaging floods to see how villagers are faring, just as the local butcher's shop re-opens for business.
According to the astronomical calendar, Sunday is the first day of spring, which means it's lambing time. Banchory farmer, Sandy Tulloch, shares his experiences of this busy period.
And Mark holds a piece of the moon in his hand as he talks to Galloway Astronomy Centre owner, Mike Alexander.
After the news...
Food foraging expert, Mark Williams, takes Mark on a free food hunt in Galloway.
Helen visits the Summer Isles with musician and composer, Mairearad Green, to see the landscape inspiration behind her latest album.
Claire meets Helping Britain Blossom Project Manager, Clem Sandison, in Alexandra Park where Glasgow's first 'Food Forest' is being planted this weekend.
And Mark is on a bumpy minibus journey to Cape Wrath lighthouse.
