Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith with outdoor activities from Shetland to the Borders.

Join Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith for the latest outdoor activities from Shetland to the Borders, including a look at the state of dairy farming on the island of Bute.

Dairy farmers on Bute will see extra cuts to the milk price because of the cost of getting it off the island. The farmers say it's unfair because they're members of a co-operative, but First Milk argues that the costs of production should be transparent. We hear from both sides and ask whether dairy farming on the island can continue.

Euan McIlwraith escapes the election on a walk around the Montrose Basin.

Food market experts dismiss rumours that imported beef is being passed off as Scottish.
