BBC Radio Scotland - Out for the Weekend, 07/10/2016

Matt Merritt joins Fiona Stalker, plus Carole Baxter visits Garthdee Fields Allotments.

Writer Matt Merritt joins Fiona Stalker, Carole Baxter visits Garthdee Fields Allotments, Steve Owens talks astronomy, and Claire White heads to Peterhead Prison Museum.

It's all about 'the birds' as writer, editor and poet Matt Merritt joins Fiona to explain just why they're so important to him! 

Staying with the bird theme we'll be heading to Montrose Basin to find out from Anna Cheshier just how many pink-footed geese have arrived so far at the Angus Reserve!

How do you like your porridge?? We'll be getting the lowdown on this weekend's World Porridge Making Championships which are heading to Carrbridge...

We catch up with Ian Buchan in Crieff ahead of their walking festival and Eleanor Stevenson in Cowal as both areas kick off an array of events, taking place over the next ten days....

What's the connection between Sharks and Prisons? We sent our reporter Claire White to visit both this week - first to Macduff Aquarium where it's Shark Season and then to Peterhead Prison Museum for a guided tour... 


Steve Owens updates us on the latest astronomical news and we get the very latest from the Garthdee Fields Allotments in Aberdeen as our resident expert Carole Baxter pays a visit...

And just how easy is it to keep up with your love on Sport once you're finished with High School and heading to Uni? Sport Scotland's Stew Fowlie and Jess Morris will be giving Out for the Weekend some tip!
