BBC Radio Scotland - Out of Doors, 15/06/2013

Featuring a half-hour special feature on camper vans with Mark Stephen.

Join Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith for the latest outdoor activities from Shetland to the Borders, including a half-hour special feature on camper vans.

Mark Stephen hits the road in a six-berth motorhome for a half-hour special on campervans. The number of vans and motorhomes visiting the Western Isles has doubled over the past five years - which is good news for tourism on the islands, but it's bringing its share of problems too. Many of the vans are parking in laybys overnight rather than staying at campsites - so where is the toilet waste being dumped?

Also in the programme...

Preserving the tradition of the Orkney Yole.

One Highland community's determined attempts to tackle the issue of dog poo on local paths.

How the Scottish Nature Photographer of the year captured his winning dolphin image.

And, microworlds in the Cairngorms.
