Euan reports live from the Scottish Breeds Dog Show at Ingleston - while Jean McLeish attends a dog grooming class and finds out why making your pooch look good goes further than improving your image.

Plus, how motor racing has inspired a group of Angus teenagers.

The in's and out's of keeping pigeons.

And a walk along the Aberdeenshire coast between St Cyrus and Johnshaven.
