Steam ships, clean coastlines and pedal power

BBC Radio Scotland - Out of Doors, Steam ships, clean coastlines and pedal power

Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith with the latest outdoor activities.

Join Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith for a trip on Loch Katrine, a bike journey on the Isla Way, a beach clean off the cliffs at Stonehaven and the activity route around Loch Ness

Mark’s on the south side of Loch Ness to find out about Loch Ness 360 – a walking, cycling and outdoor activity route which goes round the whole of the loch

Euan meets up with ecologist Dr David Hetherington who has been researching some of the lost species of Scotland including bears, elk and reindeer

Marine litter can be problem.  Mark boards a rib to get into the nooks and crannies of the coastline off  Stonehaven to see the extent first hand

Loch Katrine in the Trossachs is the principal water supply for the city of Glasgow but it’s also home to the steam ship The Sir Walter Scott.   The ship has been a major tourist draw since Victorian times.    Mark is in steam heaven

Euan takes to his electric bike and follows the route of the Keith to Dufftown  railway

And if you want to make the most of the sea breezes, get along to the Angus coast where the area’s coastal festival is running over the next eleven days
