BBC Radio Scotland - Out of Doors, 11/06/2016

Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith with the latest country news and outdoor activities.

Euan McIlwraith documents 40 years of Scottish country life and Mark Stephen hears about the campaign to preserve a special home in the Scottish Borders.

In the first thirty minutes, Euan looks back at the past four decades of Scottish country life as our sister TV programme, Landward, celebrates its 40th birthday. Journeying in his lovingly restored Series 2 Land Rover, Euan documents changes in farming using BBC archive material.

After the news...

Mark tours late craftsman Tim Stead's home in the Scottish Borders and hears about a campaign to raise awareness of the building through tracing axe heads.

Euan watches a champion 14-year old female sheepdog trial champion work her magic in Northern Ireland.

Mark samples cheese from Deeside.

Euan and Claire feel the g-force during a high speed rally drive.

On World Oceans Day, Mark checks in with the South Arran Marine Protected Area.

And Claire hurls herself down Ireland's longest zipline.
