BBC Radio Scotland - Out for the Weekend, 05/02/2016

Fiona Stalker is joined by Scottish Youth Award-winner Zeki Basan.

Fiona Stalker is joined by Zeki Basan, winner of the Scottish Youth Award for Excellence in Mountain Culture. Plus crime writer Ann Cleeves talks about National Libraries Day.

A young man who is already becoming established in the world of outdoors and conservation and he's still only a teenager, Zeki Basan, is Fiona's special guest. Scotland's Wildcats are sadly just 5 years from disappearing for good...we find out more about a fly on the wall study which is currently monitoring priority areas across the country, to illustrate where and how many we actually have left. Award winning crime writer Ann Cleeves explains why she's right behind National Libraries Day which takes place this weekend. Writer, editor and singer-songwriter Malachy Tallack's latest book takes him Sixty Degrees North, Around the World in Search of Home.... Malachy reveals just how he managed to complete the journey! It may be chilly outside but the chance to visit a tropical garden maybe closer than you think... our resident green fingered expert Carole Baxter did just that earlier this week when she spent the day at the hidden gem that is Aberdeen's David Welch Winter Gardens!
