Dougie’s heading for the hills with members of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team as they mark their 60th anniversary. He finds out what motivates the team as they cover the challenging Cairngorm mountains in winter.

Rosie’s out on the water in the Firth of Forth to see native oysters being re-established after being fished to extinction 65 years ago. And Arlene meets a new entrant farmer near Dores in Inverness-shire to find out about her steep learning curve and what lessons she’s learnt in her first five years in farming.
