Fiona Stalker talks to Dr Juliet McGrattan about her book Sorted: The Active Woman's Guide to Health.

With 45% of women in the UK not active enough for good health, it's more important than ever to do something about it. Dr Juliet McGrattan has written the book that might just help us all - Sorted: The Active Woman's Guide To Health - and she spoke to Fiona all about why we should get out and do more!

In Elie in Fife there is an abundance of scarecrows this weekend. Peter Wilson of the Elie Festivals Committee chats to Fiona about the scarecrow trail.

Fiona recently took visually impaired reporter Sam Little for her first taste of rock climbing - it's fair to say that it was a learning curve for both of them! 

Rob Long is a para climber who has competed in the 2016 Para Climbing competition and is looking to get others involved. He chats to Fiona about his experience of climbing blind. 

We catch up with 73 year old runner Kathy Ling who was running the London Marathon last weekend - how did she get on?

Louise White is at the Tiree Running Festival and tells us what's in store. 

Social Media guru Ken Banks recently went for a caravan holiday with his extended family and gave us an insight into family life with the Banks clan. 

Janice Hopper is in the studio to chat about her experience of trying to find Nessie! But was she successful? 

The Scottish Crannog centre is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and we hear about their plans to celebrate the Beltane festival this Sunday. 

And Carole Baxter was out this week taking a look at the Aberdeen allotments to see how things are looking at the start of the season.
