Cathy is joined by Dr Mary Hepburn, named Scotswoman of the Year.

Cathy is joined by Dr Mary Hepburn, named Scotswoman of the Year for her pioneering work in women's health in some of Glasgow's poorest communities.

Cathy's first hour guest this morning is Dr Mary Hepburn, who has won the Scotswoman of the Year for her pioneering work in women's health in some of Glasgow's poorest communities. She founded the Special Needs in Pregnancy clinics, an approach which began treating patients' social problems alongside their medical ones - a holistic approach, but one that was quite radical at that time.
Have you ever felt uncomfortable with how frank or unsubtle some charity advertising has become? Well it would appear that you are not alone as complaints have tripled in the last few years. Cathy will be talking to social anthropologist Dr Neil Thin and Yvonne Taylor, who's involved with campaigns for animal welfare charity, PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - to discuss if graphic images in charity campaigns are necessary to stir our conscience.
It's 40 years since Idi Amin ordered the expulsion of thousands of Asians from Uganda - most of whom settled here in the UK. Cathy will be hearing some personal stories from people directly affected by that chapter in their country's history. 
The Olympic Games come to a close this weekend, and apart from some of the astounding performances we've seen from the worlds' top athletes, another talking point has been the massive public euphoria. But is this a short-lived period, or have the Games given people a real shot of renewed hope and belief, about themselves? Cathy's joined by author and broadcaster Richard Holloway, and social psychologist at St Andrews University, Professor Stephen Reicher,.
