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.
Last year we covered the launch of an ambitious project to put cameras in hen harrier nests on grouse moors to see why the birds' population numbers are so low. Euan finds out how successful the Heads Up For Harriers project has been.
The Cairngorms National Park has been awarded special sustainable tourism status. Euan visits the park to find out why sustainability is so important and what the status actually means.
We get a sneak preview of the next Brainwaves programme all about the Scottish wildcat.
With the excesses of Christmas and New Year behind us, it's the time of year when many of us look to getting fit, losing weight and getting our lives sorted out for the year ahead - well, that's the intention but how often do we follow through? This week on Out of Doors we bring you an alternative to all of that with an activity that connects you with the outdoors, heightens your senses and helps you develop a relationship with nature. It's called Forest Therapy and Mark and Euan met up with the only guide in Scotland, Caitlin Keddie in woodlands near Scone.
Our soundscape is a wander through wild forest.
Euan discovers the Scottish Wildlife Trust's smallest reserve which is in a place you maybe didn't expect.
At the end of last year the Thurso lifeboat coxswain Bill 'Wing' Munro retired after nearly 48 years' service. Mark speaks to him about his career in the RNLI.
And Mark is in Kirkwall visiting 'the big tree', winner of the Scottish Woodland Trust Tree of the Year competition.
