Climate Tales, Halloween Stories and Celtic Conversations

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

Mark heads to Lunan Bay in Angus to meet members of the Lunan Bay Communities Partnership. They have recently established what they think might be a first in Scotland, a community-led ranger service.

We have another of our Celtic Conversations where people from Scotland and Cornwall share perspectives of climate change from their area. This week Pam Duncan-Glancy and Steven Webb chat about their shared unique firsts. Pam is the first wheelchair user to be elected to the Scottish parliament, and Steven is the first wheelchair user to be elected Mayor of Truro.

This week鈥檚 Scotland Outdoors podcast features wildlife photographer Andy Howard. He took Mark to his garden to keep a lookout for his regular badger visitors. We hear a bit of their experience.

As it鈥檚 Halloween this weekend, Euan has been to Aden Country Park in Aberdeenshire with storyteller Pauline Cordiner. She tells Euan some spooky stories from the area which is known to be home to quite a few ghosts.

The Tranent to Cockenzie Waggonway opened in 1722 and was possibly the first in Scotland. Recently they made an exciting discovery at the site, Mark went along to find out more.

Katie Revell visits the Children鈥檚 Woodland on the southside of Glasgow where school children are getting to plant trees as part of the Lost Woods project. She hears from some of the kids getting to take part and finds out more about the background to the project.

This week the winners of 成人快手 Scotland鈥檚 Climate Tales writing competition were announced and we鈥檙e delighted to have one of the judges, Rory Crawford, and some of the prize winners join us live on the programme.

Euan鈥檚 mystery bird has some nautical connections. Can you guess what it is?
