BBC Radio Scotland - Out for the Weekend, 14/04/2017

Fiona Stalker talks to her personal hero, Alexandra Cousteau.

Fiona Stalker finds out about an Easter Egg hunt with a difference, plus Dalia Martinez tells her about a Spanish-Scottish art exchange in Aberdeen.

Fiona speaks to one of her personal heroes, Alexandra Cousteau, to find out about her ocean fairing life and growing up with Jacque Cousteau as her grandfather. 

Reporter Karen MacKenzie recently found her sea legs and took a boat trip with a difference down the Clyde.

Chocolate is on the mind as reporter Emily Esson went to find out how Easter Eggs are made at Cocoa Ooze in Aberdeen. 

Mandy Tulloch is in the car park to give ideas on Easter crafts to keep the family entertained. She might even set the team a challenge...!

Mark Stephen from Out for Doors embraced his inner Robbin Hood when he was at Bowhunter Archery in Nairn.

Fiona chats to Kenneth Cox, a man whose love for the rhododendron led him near to death as well as being arrested 3 times in Tibet. He tells us why we should love the rhododendron and why one species has given them all a bad name. 

Nuart is an open air art festival taking place in Aberdeen this weekend and Fiona went along to see some of the art get installed. Festival organiser James Finucane joins her in the studio to tell us what we can expect. 

And finally the ospreys have returned to Scotland for the breeding season and we catch up with Chris Tilbury from Loch Garten Osprey Centre, where there are three osprey eggs waiting to hatch.
