Euan is in the Cairngorms finding out about the art of peatland restoration and the jobs that it has the potential to bring to rural areas.

For our Scotland Outdoors podcast this week, Mark walked part of the John O' Groats Trail with its creator, Jay Wilson. We hear an excerpt of their walk near Golspie.

A couple of weeks ago Mark tried his hand at fly fishing under the tutelage of Ali and Will Peake, twin ghillies based on the River Dee in Aberdeenshire. They tell him about their passion for fishing and try to improve his cast.

Last June we visited the Loch Tay Skiff club who were just finishing building their boat, Nighean Ruadh, the Red Haired Lass. She is now on the water and the club have been learning how to row. Mark went along to see how they were getting on.

Loch Kinord is a small, freshwater loch in the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve in Aberdeenshire. It’s an important breeding ground for birds such as goldeneye duck and it’s because of those birds that the reserve has asked people not to take part in water sports on the loch this summer. Euan chats to the reserve manager to find out more.

Plus, he also goes on the hunt for the elusive adder and another reptile, the slow worm.

This week ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Bitesize launched The Regenerators ‘Hall of Fame’, a celebration of young climate champions from across the UK who are passionate about the planet and taking action to protect it. We’re joined live by one of the judges, conservationist and TV presenter Megan McCubbin to find out more.

And a listener got in touch with an unusual bird call for Euan to identify. This week’s mystery bird comes from foreign climes, can you guess what it is?
