Join Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith for the latest outdoor activities.

Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith look at the rise of the rural film club, a call for compensation for farmers living in close proximity to sea eagles, and other issues.

The rise of the rural film club. Rural communities are ditching home entertainment in favour of the communal film experience, often in village halls. We investigate.

Call for nationwide compensation for farmers living in close proximity to sea eagles. As the reintroduction programme becomes established, the Sea Eagle Management Group are considering the various ways farmers can manage their flocks of sheep to avoid the birds taking lambs. We hear from one farmer on Mull who has lived with sea eagles for over twenty years.

As the emphasis on EU funding shifts from simply supporting agriculture to invigorating rural communities, how do other European countries go about maintaining healthy rural economies?

Mark takes a trip of a lifetime to Staffa and is genuinely moved by Fingal's Cave, a geological masterpiece.

Helen continues her quest to fulfill her 'A New Year A New You' pledges by climbing the Five Sisters of Kintail. 

Plus, Euan joins a flotilla of vessels as they embark upon a weekend of celebrations to mark ten years since the opening of the Union Canal.

And as Autumn is in full swing, we discover the science behind the changing leaves.
