Out of Doors with Mark Stephen and Ewan McAray on BBC Radio Scotland.

Hello and thanks very much for choosing to listen to this.

I'm Mark Stephen.

We build the Scotland Outdoors podcast from the live program we do for BBC Radio Scotland,

which is called Out of Doors.

And this week we were concentrating on a very, very unusual form of farming

and the fact that it's been tremendously dry recently.

You're listening to Out of Doors on BBC Radio Scotland.

Well, what a change.

This time last week, we were standing in the Spiegel tent in Edinburgh in front of

200 lovely folk who'd made the effort to turn out as a live audience at half past

six in the morning.

We had an absolutely wonderful time there.

This week, standing back in the car park, I would see Al Clays, but I was wearing the same Alclays last week.

And it's cold this morning.

Good morning.

I'm Mark Stephen.
