BBC Radio Scotland - Out for the Weekend, Pennie Latin stands in

Pennie Latin stands in to discuss climbing sea stacks with Vicki Mayes and Natalie Feather

Pennie Latin stands in to discuss, among other topics, climbing sea stacks with Vicki Mayes and Natalie Feather.

Climbing one of Scotland's magnificent sea stacks tends to be an unachievable dream for many. However three women set out to climb three of the most famous stacks in three days. We hear from Vicki Mayes and Natalie Feather about their amazing challenge. 

Climavore Skye is an unusual living art instillation that looks at the way we interact with our environment. Emma Nicolson tells Pennie more about the project. 

Fiona recently caught up with crime writer Lin Anderson and Willie Anderson, leader of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team, to find out how to make the Cairngorms come to life when writing. 

Castle Douglas will be spending the weekend celebrating all things food and drink with their Harvest Festival, and chairperson Sarah-Jane Allsopp tells us what we can expect. 

With the night's drawing in it can be hard to keep the kids active in the evenings. Karen Shepherd from Aberdeen Play Forum gives Pennie her top tips for having fun in the dark. 

THIS Fest takes place this weekend in Scotland's gaming capital Dundee. Event Manager Dawn Campbell is on hand to tell us why gaming is so important. 

Janice Hopper is back in the studio to give us her take on the Aberdeen Angus Trail.

Castle Fraser is celebrating its 40th anniversary in style by trying to breaking a seventeen year old world record. Property manager Paula Swan tells us how we can all help get the Castle into the record books. 

Reporter Claire White recently took a trip down the Clyde with Glasgow Power Boats to get a different view of the city. 

And we hear about Horse Power at the Kelpies, a celebration of Scotland's equine history. Team leader Ben Mardall tells us more.
