BBC Radio Scotland - Out for the Weekend, Michelle McManus

Weekend inspiration and insight into events across Scotland with Michelle McManus.

Michelle learns about Aberdeen’s surprising suffragette past from a new festival in the city, Rise Up Quines! 

We hear about a walking group in Queens Park that aims to help people with their mental health in the great outdoors.

Frankie Vaughan embraces the dark nights by creating a new immersive food experience; Dining in the Dark.

Glasgow Concert Hall is having a weekend of events dedicated to kids. Michelle hears about what’s on offer from Christopher Barr of Glasgow Life. 

Michelle chats to some school pupils from Albyn School in Aberdeen about a recent expedition to the base camp at Everest. 

If you’re looking for a walk that’s a little easier than Everest, than perhaps the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail will be of interest. We find out more from the trail found Ian Logan. 

A new art project from Danny Boyle is taking place this weekend across the country to mark Armistice Day. Joel Cox went to St Andrews to find out more. 

And George Anderson from the Woodland Trust chats to Michelle about memorial forests in Scotland.
