Anna Macleod is in conversation with two guests each week about their favourite books, and also finds out more about their lives. 

In this episode, well-known broadcaster Gilleasbuig Ferguson discusses the book which highlights his personal connections with Canada, and also explains why a special copy of an old dictionary means so much to him. When Catriona MacRae isn't busy working as a GP, her favourite reading takes her to places as far apart as Majorca and Afghanistan. She also talks about how reading is an important family activity and how a favourite book was recommended to her by her daughter.

As well as discussing their favourite books, each guest has chosen one for the other to read, and we'll find out in the programme if they enjoyed it or not!
