Have you ever wondered what it would be like to film with lions in Kenya or be stalked by a polar bear? Our guest today knows all about doing all that and more as award winning cameraman John Aitchison joins Out for the Weekend! Meanwhile, this is most definitely the time of the year to be picking fruits, one place where the fruit harvest has been in full swing is the National Trust Gardens at Pitmedden in Aberdeenshire. Our resident gardening expert Carole Baxter took a visit to find out more. This week's Bird of the Week is a bit of a loner - Jess Barrett of the RSPB reveals all about the Grey Heron. And do you struggle to get your youngsters interested in science? Could you perhaps be doing something at home with a few bits and pieces which might kindle their enthusiasm? Lesley Weston from Tech Fest joins us brimming with ideas.
