BBC Scotland - The River, Episode 4

Eddie Weatherly and his team respond to calls about salmon poachers along the river.

Charting life along the River Tweed. Eddie Weatherly and his team respond to calls about salmon poachers along the river. Ruth Hinks makes 5,000 chocolate brownies for charity.

For thousands of years prized salmon stocks have faced a varying degree of threats to their existence. In this episode, Eddie Weatherly and his river bailiff team respond to more calls that salmon poachers are active along the river, the search is on and, under the cover of darkness, the team lie in wait to see if the poachers turn up. In Kelso, it's one of the busiest weekends of the year for the Ednam House hotel. Manager Margaret Livingstone-Evans has three weddings across three days, a bridal conundrum! In Peebles, Ruth Hinks has 5,000 chocolate brownies to make for a charity campaign, but little does she know that husband David has a special surprise lined up to reward her for all her hard work. On Cowbog Farm, farmer Robert Wilson, daughter Lottie and father Ron are testing the cattle for TB and far more importantly for daughter Lottie, they're checking to see if her favourite cow is pregnant. And at Floors Stud, it's a big day for all involved as Tattersalls auctioneer Todd Watt visits to decide just how many potential million-pound horses will go in the biggest of horse sales.
