Weekend activity inspiration and insight into events across Scotland with Alison Craig.

As the weekend approaches, Alison Craig offers activity inspiration and insight into what's happening across Scotland. Includes gardening and weather news.

The Harley Davidson in the City Festival rides into Brechin this weekend, and we hear about the city's motorcycle history from festival organiser Bill Sturrick. 

Kitty Hagenbach and Mairin Colleary have just returned from a once in a life time adventure to the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. Alison hears about what prompted the 70 year old best friends to go.

Callander Summer Fest returns for another year and event organiser Anne Docherty tells us what's in store. 

The Glen Nevis Hostel has undergone a face life and Richard Baynes got a tour around before it's re-opening. Alison chats to hostel enthusiast Tansy Grigor-Taylor about why more people should embrace the humble hostel. 

With the Highland Games season well and truly underway we hear about the Braemar Junior Games from chairman David Geddes and about the Highland Games more generally from Ian Grieve of the Scottish Highland Games Association. 

Juliet Roberts is back in the studio to give parents some top tips on entertaining the kids this summer using only pennies!

Carole Baxter took a tour around the Fyvie Castle kitchen garden, to find out what is grown inside the walled garden. 

If you've been anywhere near the sea recently you might have spotted some jellyfish but what should you do when you see them? Dr Peter Richardson from the Marine Conservation Society has the answers.

And we catch up with Colleen Blair, who has successfully become the first person to swim the Minch!
