As the army gets set to raise the rai?nbow flag over | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
barracks in Scotland, just how gay-friendly | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
And it's been 60 years since Moira Anderson disappeared. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Plus, the kilted Scotsman doing yoga who have been watched by 40 million | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
Let's talk a bit more about those men in kilts. | :00:21. | :00:45. | |
Well, have you seen their film on BBC The Social? | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Almost everybody's seen the kilted yoga boys. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
I wonder how much yoga you have to do to look like that. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
I think I'll ask them when they come in later. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Also, we'll be talking Paisley and Perth, both places bidding | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
We've got two well kent faces making the case for their hometowns. | :01:05. | :01:16. | |
First, though, it's not so long since being gay in the military | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
The policy now is to allow LGBT personnel to serve openly | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Tomorrow, rainbow flags will be flown over barracks in Scotland. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
And in a moment, we'll be speaking to Warrant Officer Dougie Graham, | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Cameron Buttle spent some time with him at his barracks. | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
In the age of 14 really I knew that I wasn't the person that I wanted to | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
be. Through my Army career I had to hide the fact that because of my | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
sexuality no one ever knew about who I was, who the real Doogie Graham | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
was and after 38 years I am now here is the regimental support officer | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
for 71 engineers as a recruiter. You have been in the Army a long time so | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
it means a lot to you, as a courier service, for fighter of Northern | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Ireland? Yes in the early 80s all the way through to the 90s,... | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
People don't appreciate how tough those troops were. Unless you have | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
been very unit appreciated. We saw things that we have to learn to live | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
with. Northern Ireland was quite tough. You stayed in the military | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
all-time even though it was illegal. It was illegal up until the year | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
2000. I stayed in because I knew eventually when I was going to be, I | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
knew eventually one day while I was surfing argument let me be myself | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
and I think that give me more strength to be the person I am now. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Joining us now is Warrant Officer Dougie Graham. | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
How difficult was it to come out while still being in the Army? It | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
was quite difficult but I made a choice about seven or eight years | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
ago that I couldn't live the life I had been living for all those years | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
previously in the Army. To be honest I was going to come out in the early | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
80s but I decided not to. Partly because it was illegal and because | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
of what I had seen happening to fellow soldiers who served with me | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
and my unit. What have you seen? I had witnessed individuals who had | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
been caught undertaking homosexual acts and who had been lassoed with | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
about a 30 metre rope in the run uphill battle the rope to surrender | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
neck and I have seen people get severely beaten up while serving. | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
And I said that cant be for me. So I decided to continue living a double | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
life. What happened when you finally did come out? It was quite | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
difficult. My personal circumstances, I was outed, I never | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
came out, so someone urgently. I decided then at that point to make a | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
stand, be strong and be a voice for the LG BG community within the Army. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
What was the reaction like from your fellow soldiers? 80% of them were | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
positive, absolutely brilliant. I did lose some so-called friends but | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
I didn't need them in my life any more. I have some very good family, | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
and friends who supported me all the way through. It was a shock to some | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
of them because they had known me, as who I was, but now knowing that I | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
was gay totally appreciated who I am. How much do you think things | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
have changed since the time in the 80s where you were not able to be | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
honest about who you are? Leaps and bounds, the British Army, not just | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
the British Army but the MOD including the three Armed Forces | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
have went from zero to probably 90%, just about the, allowing people to | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
be who they are, to serve in uniform for the country, whether they are | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Just about the bus | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
something stopping it? I still experience an appropriate language | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
in the workplace, for houses I was asked if I wanted a gay Coffey. What | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
sports to you play? I play sport. Bashar Al-Assad I play golf. The | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
appropriate language is different because you do not have much is | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
towards you. What do you say to a young soldier struggling with their | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
sexuality today? Speak out and don't be frightened of who you are, the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
support network is there. I am the vice-chairman of the Army LG BG | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
forum, you can go online, you can go on the anonymously. -- LG BG forum. | :06:09. | :06:19. | |
You can be in the Armed Forces and be lesbian or gay and server and it | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
is totally accepted. The disappearance of | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
11-year-old Moira Anderson is one of Scotland's | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
longest unsolved cases. Today is 60 years since she | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
disappeared after going to her local Co-op in Coatbridge to buy | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
a birthday card for her mum. When the Co-Op was closed, | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
Moira was last seen That bus was driven | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
by Alexander Gartshore - He was the last person | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
to see Moira alive - but at the time was never | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
considered a suspect. 35 years later, Gartshore's daughter | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Sandra, who believes her father murdered Moira, confronted him | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
and police brought him They deemed there wasn't enough | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
evidence to convict. In 2006, Alexander Gartshore | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
died a free man. Prosecutors now believe he was | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
responsible for Moira's death. Four years ago, specialists exhumed | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
graves at Old Monkland Cemetary, in the hope that Moira's | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
remains would be found. They weren't, but new witnesses | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
who saw the media coverage emerged. Next month, a new search | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
will begin for Moira's remains Moira's sister Janet Hart now | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
lives in Australia - she's come over to Scotland | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
to mark the anniversary. A little earlier she told me | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
how the day had gone. I have been overwhelmed by the | :07:39. | :07:53. | |
support of the Moira Anderson foundation and the community itself | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
has gone together and we have been, I would not say celebrating but it | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
has been emotional and I find the tremendous support is still with the | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Anderson family to find Moira. I have very comforted to know that | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
there are so many people out there helping the foundation and helping | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
the cold case and witnesses coming forward are wonderful. I am very | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
emotional that after so long things are coming to fruition and I feel | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
we're on the of closure. Alex Gartshore is the man who prosecutors | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
believe is responsible for her death. You have disclosed that he | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
did something to you. What happened? I was on my way back after having | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
lunch at home and going back to high school when I was called over by a | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
tall man with a little black car. He asks me do I mind holding the | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
dipstick, I have trouble with the car. I felt quite secure because it | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
was broad daylight, and within the site of school. I held the dipstick. | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
Only a few minutes later he groped me from underneath. I ran away and | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
took the registration number of his car and reported it to the rector at | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
the school at the time. The police were called in. Supposedly it was | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
followed up but never was and it actually happened to be Alex | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
Gartshore who had been serving time in prison for having carnal | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
knowledge with a child of 14. Why that was never followed up, beggars | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
belief. Do you think there's still something out there knows what | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
happened to Moira? I believe so because at that time we had bus | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
conductors and people on the bus and drivers on different buses and I do | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
believe that the bus company had other drivers and conductors who | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
would have shed some light on this man. I do believe that there is | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
someone out there who could actually bring closure on this matter. And | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
I'm appealing to any witness, whatever connection they had with | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
Alex Gartshore to please come forward and help bring this matter | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
to an end. Let me bury my little sister, please. I just as recently | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
as yesterday visited my parents grave, that is nothing more | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
delisting my heart would be to bring Moira and have closure on this | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
matter so that she can finally be brought home to her parents. Nothing | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
worse can happen than a little girl to go out and never come back again. | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Janet you have been living in Australia for the last 16 years but | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
have you been able to get on with your life? Yes, I have had a good | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
life, bringing my own children up I have been very nervous when they go | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
out and when they return beyond the time date of coming home. I'm | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
extremely nervous. What has it been like for you returning after 16 | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
years? Very emotional. Especially today, it was a day exactly like | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
this 60 years ago when it started to snow and it just meant that 60 years | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
has flashed by me and I can still picture my little sister on that | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
day. I did not realise that I would never see her again. Thank you very | :11:42. | :11:42. | |
much for speaking to us. There's nothing quite | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
like a bit of good humoured In Scotland, it's usually | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
Glaswegians and Edinburghers who noise each other up - | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
but now, when it comes to bidding for the title of UK | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
City of Culture 2021 - it's Paisley and Perth | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
battling it out. We asked Scott Reid, | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
aka Methadone Mick from Still Game, and comedian Fred MacAuley to show | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
us what their hometowns We have one of the most iconic | :12:04. | :12:28. | |
buildings in Scotland, Paisley Abbey. Its foundation from 1163, it | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
is incredible it is still standing. It is right next to the Paisley town | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Hall. I have seen several gigs across the year, most notably the | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
piloting a gig. It is right next to the river that runs right through | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
the heart of Paisley. Blue cat Studios, one of the hidden gems of | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
Paisley. The time I spent a recording and rehearsing with my | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
band back in the day. This is one of the quirkiest little studios you'll | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
find the West Coast of Scotland. It has not changed at all. The time I | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
spent in here. This was my corner. I used to jump off this thing thinking | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
it was the battle main stage. The pace youth Theatre, one of the most | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
important places for me, it is when I went to act alongside other | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
talented actors. It is the most important institution do is to be an | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
actor for young people in the West Coast of Scotland is not in | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Scotland. We have had some great people coming from pace. The likes | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
of Kevin Duffy, James Madden, -- Kevin par three. -- Kevin Guthrie. | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
It is about people coming to this equates to come and grow. It gives | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
them the confidence to think they can take it forward for the rest of | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
their lives. It is great to be back. I'm proud to say that I'm from | :14:03. | :14:24. | |
Paisley. I believe, once you've lived in Paisley, you can live | :14:25. | :14:25. | |
anywhere. Good effort, Paisley. This is Perth. | :14:26. | :14:44. | |
When you're a comedian, people say, where do you get your sense of | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
humour from? I was inspired by the likes of Billy Connolly, of course, | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
but it started here, Perth Academy. I had a great bunch of pals at | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
school. We shared a sense of humour, we still do now. Let's have a we | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
look around Perth. One of the places you can expect culture in Perth is | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
that the Perth Concert Hall. A great venue, I've played it myself. The | :15:08. | :15:19. | |
second night here, yours truly. I got heckled before I got to the | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
microphone, speaker and always wind the audience back with a good gag. | :15:23. | :15:34. | |
If you want to get a nice meal in Perth, no problem at all. If you | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
want to get a pint, loads of bars, plenty of pubs. This is where I | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
tried to get served when I was a little bit under age. I had a little | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
bit of difficulty, but it's changed days now. This is where you complain | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
rugby, football, or of course golf. This is where me and my teenage pals | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
used to come and play. If you want to play now as an adult, it ?17 this | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
summer. If you want to play Donald Trump's course at the weekend, 350 | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
quit. Unbelievable! -- ?350. If I play more than twice this week, I | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
would've saved myself a grand. If you want a city with culture and | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
recreation and sport, and decent glass of beer, good comedy, of | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
course, Perth is the place. Other cities going for the 2021 | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
prize include Stoke on Trent, Coventry and Cardiff and bids have | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
to be submitted by And we should say, in the interest | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
of full disclosure, that Shereen, being a Paisley buddy, | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
is backing their bid. I should probably just say | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
may the best city win. Social media this week has seen | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
something very Scottish go viral - These guys have been viewed more | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
than 40 million times and have gone They'll be here in a bit - | :16:58. | :17:16. | |
here's what some of Laura in London is wondering if this | :17:17. | :17:32. | |
is part of the new BBC Scotland channel. It is certainly a very good | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
programme idea. We have someone in touch from Canada, Kilted Yoga could | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
be the new Scottish national pastime. Maybe not in this weather! | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
Let's see what Sam has said. And that his fans will be very excited | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
about him giving that a try. You may have heard about | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
Billy Irving from Argyll. He's the guy who was working | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
on board an anti-piracy ship when he was arrested by Indian | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
authorities in 2013. Along with 35 others, Billy, | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
a former paratrooper, was jailed for five years last year | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
for possesion of arms. Since all this began, | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
his fiancee, Yvonne McHugh, has been campaigning | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
to get his sentence quashed, as well as bringing up | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
their two-year-old son. I'm delighted that Yvonne has joined | :18:15. | :18:26. | |
us. William is two this again. He doesn't know his father. That must | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
be hard. It's extremely hard, yes. I try the hardest to make sure he's | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
aware that he does have a father who loves them very much and who would | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
do anything he could to be by his side and to raise him along with his | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
mother. Show him pictures and videos. As much as I can, so when he | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
comes home, he isn't a stranger to William. You've just been to India | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
to see Billy in prison for the first time in something like eight months. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
What were his conditions like with Mike the conditions in prison are | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
horrific. There's nothing like a prison here. You don't get | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
television, you don't get your three square meals a day, you don't even | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
get clean water. You have to pay for basic amenities, likely water and | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
food. You have no recreational facilities. The health care that | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
they get is very basic. How is he doing? He's doing extremely well, | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
I'm so proud of him. I don't know how he's managed to cope over the | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
last 3.5 years with everything going on, but he's doing phenomenal | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
despite everything going on. I think he's just really anxious about this | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
verdict of the appeal and really wishing that that would come sooner | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
rather than later. There is an appeal in process, but take us back. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
What was he doing in India in the first place? He was working at the | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
facility officer. There's a lot of mystery around being a Maritime | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
facility officer, but it's a perfectly normal job. There's | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
hundreds of men doing this job all over the world just now, protecting | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
ships from piracy. How did he come into contact with the Indian | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
authority? They boarded the ship, saying that they were in Indian | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
waters. They boarded the ship and arrested all 35 men on board. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Everyone from the chef to the captain, basically. All 35 of the | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
men are currently languishing in prison with the same sentence of | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
five years imprisonment. We have just seen where they're being held | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
in India. There's no denying that they had arms. They did have arms, | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
but they were all above board and legal. How can anyone protect the | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
ship from piracy attacks without arms onboard? That argument being | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
bought by the Indian authority to his back --? They are saying the | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
arms on board are illegal. We've already proven these arms were | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
legal. The British Government gave the documents and the certificates | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
to prove that they were legal. Yet this hasn't been accepted in courts, | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
despite the overwhelming evidence to prove their innocence, they are | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
still languishing in prison right now. How much help you getting from | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
the Foreign Office, from the Government? Not enough, is my | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
answer. They say they are pressing the Indian Government, they say they | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
are doing everything they can to speed up the judicial process, but | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
when a judicial process has failed these men time and time again, the | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
British Government know they're innocent, the Indian Government know | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
they're innocent, but they still insist on keeping them in prison. | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
They've sorted things like, the Foreign Office have sorted visits to | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
the prison and they've made sure that they have better provisions in | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
prison, but it's not enough when there are 35 families without their | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
loved ones who don't have wages coming in, who have lost homes. It's | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
just not good enough. They shouldn't be suffering in prison. What are the | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
chances of them getting out anytime soon? Right now I feel like it's | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
never going to happen. That's really hard. What I just got to stay | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
positive and the... Hope that we do get them out. I know that they're | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
innocent, everyone knows they are innocent, and surely justice must | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
prevail. How hard was it to see him from the last time you visited him | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
in jail? Extremely hard. We had the most incredible time when I was | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
there. It sounds really dark to say because we were in prison and it was | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
a horrible surrounding, Rick was as though we weren't. We were in our | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
own world, laughing, talking to each other, even brought a guitar so he | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
could send me a song that he wrote in prison about me, various things | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
like that that made it feel like we weren't there. It made it hard to | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
leave, but happy to have the memories that I had with him until | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
the next time I see him, which is hopefully back in Scotland. Thank | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
you very much for coming in, keep us up-to-date with developments. I will | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
do, they do very much. And now you have something very different. | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
Two men, in kilts, doing yoga in the Scottish countryside. | :23:08. | :23:53. | |
That's Tristan Cameron-Harper and Finlay Wilson - | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
their video, which was posted on social media this week | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
by BBC's The Social, has now been viewed by more | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
How does it feel to be global superstars? It is unbelievable. We | :24:06. | :24:20. | |
did not think that this would happen at all. How did it come about? I had | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
made a video about my rescue dog a couple of weeks ago and it went | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
viral and the BBC said, your next video, don't be too upset, because | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
it's not going to be popular, don't be too upset. And apparently the | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
recipe, beards, kilts, butts, work! And the Scottish Highlands, don't | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
forget that. That's what clinched that. | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
Do you actually do yoga in your kilts normally or did you do it in | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
the purpose... Hill it was more to have a little bit of fun. To bring | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
the Scottish element in, but to be light-hearted about it. It was one | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
of the original pages I did to BBC The Social, to have light-hearted | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
humour, it instead of people taking yoga so seriously. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
But you do take it seriously. You're the teacher, and Tristan, you're the | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
pupil. I love yoga, I'm more into | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
meditation, but yoga is for anyone. How did you get into a? I play ice | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
hockey professionally, I got into a place where I wanted to search in | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
myself, I got into it, it works wonders for me. I want to share good | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
vibes for people around me. Going with the flow, enjoying every moment | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
of it. Everyone will have seen your | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
physique. He's jealous! I definitely am. How | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
many hours do you have to spend doing yoga to look like that? | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
It's not just yoga! I run a studio in Dundee, I do it everyday, run | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
classes and not get injured, I have to run the classes every morning. I | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
do about two hours every single morning without fail. If I don't do | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
my yoga practice in the morning, you don't want to know me. It was injury | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
that got you into it in the first place. About ten years ago, I had | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
surgery on both of my legs about four months apart and it made | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
walking and weight bearing on my legs really challenging, I was told | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
that yoga would be a good way to revalidate myself. -- help myself. | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
It took about five years for things to get comfortable, ten years down | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
the line this is where things are going. Are you still doing other | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
sports, Tristan? I retired from ice hockey. I'm aspiring to conquer some | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
of the highest peaks in the world. I do a lot of climbing, bouldering, is | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
climbing as well. I'm a very active person, I love the outdoors. Yoga | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
and meditation fits hand in hand with that. I do everything I can. | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
Where do you think all this will take you? You've got global | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
attention. What can you do with that? I'm not sure, but it's meant | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
whatever method we decide to put out next has a receptive audience, | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
hopefully. Next week I'm filming a video with my twin brother, actually | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
talking about male clinical depression. His and my experience of | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
that. I think it is opened it up to an audience that will listen to | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
really important subjects, having used humour as a way to open the | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
door. Looking forward to that. You mentioned it was a video of you and | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
your dog that started all of this. Tell us about the dog. Use of rescue | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
dog from Sri Lanka, when I was out there on my honeymoon, he would be | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
there all the time, he'd be at my yoga mat, outside the room in the | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
morning, he would sit with us all day long. They got to the point when | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
I was leaving, I thought, I cannot leave this dog care. He was skin and | :27:55. | :27:59. | |
bones, mangy, dates are missing. But his character was winning. He's a | :28:00. | :28:09. | |
sweetheart. He does yoga practice with you. Is getting pretty good | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
with some of the moves. Downward dog! He does that pretty well. | :28:16. | :28:23. | |
Kilted yoga for dogs. That hasn't been done, but Doga is already a | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
thing. Thank you very much. You can keep in touch with us | :28:30. | :28:30. | |
on social media and on email - Let us know what you'd | :28:31. | :28:42. | |
like us to pick up on. Shereen and I will be | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
back next week - same time, same place | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
- until then. see how the life of the Scottish | :28:50. | :28:51. | |
child has changed Children don't get to play outside | :28:52. | :29:06. | |
in the way that they used to. I can remember being afraid to | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
go to school. How we were raised shaped not just | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
us but also our nation. Educating the mass of a population - | :29:16. | :29:18. | |
that is a wonderful ideal. # You can shake an apple | :29:19. | :29:30. | |
off an apple tree # Shake-a, shake-a, sugar | :29:31. | :29:43. | |
but you'll never shake me | :29:44. | :29:47. |
