He also chats with Archie Wilson and James Nott of Scottish Forestry, about how Ash Dieback is affecting Scotland’s forests. 

Rachel meets Geordie Skinner at Strathorn Farm near Inverurie, to learn more about the majestic Clydesdale breed ahead of the big Clydesdale gathering.  

Maud Start meets wood sculptor Teresa Hunyadi at the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, to learn more about why she encourages people to touch her sculptures at her inclusive exhibitions.  

Grant Watt is taking part in the Farrier Championships at the World Clydesdale Show 2022. A seasoned competitor, he reveals the intricacies of working as a professional Farrier. 

The team catch up with National Clydesdale Queen for USA, Clarissa Rassmussen, who has travelled all the way from Wisconsin to participate in the World Clydesdale Show 2022.
