:00:29. > :00:32.Hello and a very warm welcome to Landward your weekly window on the
:00:32. > :00:35.working world of the Scottish countryside. Sarah will look at
:00:35. > :00:40.what the future holds for the Scottish pig industry, first here's
:00:40. > :00:45.what else is coming up on the programme: We meet the Green Action
:00:45. > :00:50.Angels. There is nothing really much out there for me but this has
:00:50. > :00:55.totally changed my life. It's great. Harbour seals take their place on
:00:55. > :01:00.the list of the top five iconic species for the year of national
:01:00. > :01:05.Scotland. They'll come to this area because it's sheltered. It's too
:01:05. > :01:09.shallow for the orca to come in here. We mark 175 years since the
:01:09. > :01:14.birth of the great Scottish naturalist John Muir. John Muir is
:01:14. > :01:17.one of the founders of world conservation and certainly as far
:01:17. > :01:23.as the Americans are concerned he's the father of their National Park
:01:23. > :01:28.system. The Scottish pig industry has been
:01:28. > :01:32.up against it these past few years. High welfare standards has meant
:01:32. > :01:37.big investment plus the ongoing pressure of expensive feed. Add to
:01:37. > :01:40.that the recent closure of Scotland's biggest processor.
:01:40. > :01:47.Sarah's been to gauge how the pig industry in this country is trying
:01:47. > :01:57.to fight back. In the past decade, the number of
:01:57. > :01:57.
:01:57. > :02:02.breeding sows kept in Scotland has fallen from 75,000 to just 35,000.
:02:02. > :02:10.Then in February, another major blow hit the industry with the
:02:10. > :02:15.closure of the country's largest pig processing site. Perhaps more
:02:15. > :02:19.than any other sector of Scottish farming, the pig industry has been
:02:19. > :02:26.beset by a long list of problems which have called into question
:02:26. > :02:32.whether or not it will survive. In the last two or three years, as
:02:32. > :02:38.I'm sure you're aware, the price of cereals has risen dramatically.
:02:38. > :02:43.Three years ago it would have been �250 a time, this year it's �450.
:02:43. > :02:50.Feed is 65% of the cost of finishing pigs. When that rises by
:02:51. > :02:53.such an amount it has a big impact on the profitability of our pig
:02:53. > :02:56.enterprise. The lack of profitibility has made it
:02:56. > :03:05.challenging for producers to carry on. We have lost members during
:03:05. > :03:10.that time. Roderick is taking a progressive approach on his farm.
:03:10. > :03:14.He runs a 350-sow indoor breeding and finishing herd in Aberdeenshire
:03:14. > :03:21.and is taking every step possible to ensure his business is
:03:21. > :03:25.profitible. Today's pig farming requires a huge amount of
:03:25. > :03:31.investment. People haven't had the confidence to make that investment,
:03:31. > :03:35.therefore we've landed with units that are not efficient enough. I've
:03:35. > :03:39.made the decision to invest. We had a lot of old buildings that were
:03:39. > :03:43.inefficient and tired. Through help from the Scottish Government, which
:03:43. > :03:50.has been very supportive to the independent stri, I've put up new
:03:50. > :03:55.buildings which are more efficient. How do you keep feed costs down?
:03:56. > :04:00.grow barley, wheat and oil seed rape and we feed all three to the
:04:00. > :04:06.pigs. We have to mill that and it's fed through the wet feed system to
:04:06. > :04:11.the pigs. There's a number of businesses in Scotland that are
:04:11. > :04:14.home mixing, feeding their own grain, using the slurry from the
:04:15. > :04:19.pig unit to grow the grain that they feed to the pigs. That seems
:04:19. > :04:23.like a very robust business model. It seems to work. Are you self-
:04:23. > :04:30.sufficient? Do you manage to grow all your own feed on the farm?
:04:30. > :04:39.not quite self-sufficient, but I am heading towards that and it all
:04:39. > :04:43.helps to give stability and robustness to the business.
:04:43. > :04:49.Another big blow to the industry came in February this year with the
:04:49. > :04:58.closure of Scotland's largest pig processor. They processed 8,000
:04:58. > :05:04.pigs a week, which was 75% of the total pig kill in Scotland. What's
:05:05. > :05:09.happened since the closure of the plant? We now have a facility
:05:09. > :05:13.opening up at breekin operated by Tulip. It's killing approximately
:05:13. > :05:17.4,000 pigs a week. We have several abattoirs in the Highlands and
:05:17. > :05:21.elsewhere that will take up to 500 pigs a week that. Has been a help.
:05:21. > :05:25.Unfortunately those pigs are cut into primals, only four or five
:05:25. > :05:30.parts and they are shipped to England to be further processed for
:05:30. > :05:34.supermarkets. That mean that's we don't use the specially selected
:05:34. > :05:39.mark backed by the SSPCA in Scotland. Does that end up on
:05:39. > :05:43.Scottish shelves? Some of it does, whether it's marketed as produce of
:05:43. > :05:46.Scotland, that's a challenge. That's why we immediate more work
:05:46. > :05:50.to get that Scottish label back on again. The future of the industry,
:05:51. > :05:55.how optimistic are you about that? We have a great story to tell out.
:05:55. > :06:01.There Scottish pigs, a lot of us are like myself, family farms. We
:06:01. > :06:05.have that great provenance about it. If it's Scottish pork, it comes
:06:05. > :06:10.from Scottish farms. That may encourage more young farmers to
:06:10. > :06:14.come into our industry and maybe we can see it rising again. I believe
:06:14. > :06:17.that there's a good future for pig farming. There's a superbunch of
:06:17. > :06:23.guys in the industry looking forward and making the investment
:06:23. > :06:27.that's necessary. The Scottish pig industry has been
:06:27. > :06:32.through some tough times but those who remain see it changing for the
:06:32. > :06:37.better. The challenge is to restore confidence, encourage grol and
:06:37. > :06:45.investment and ensure -- growth and investment and ensure the Scottish
:06:45. > :06:49.herd survives. In the year of natural Scotland,
:06:49. > :06:56.Scottish natural heritage are promoting our top five iconic
:06:56. > :07:00.species. This week, Ewan goes in search of the harbour seal.
:07:00. > :07:05.Scotland is justly famous for its wild places, thousands of acres of
:07:05. > :07:10.mountains, moorland and forests are home to many rare and interesting
:07:10. > :07:15.creatures. Over the last two weeks, I've seen two of Scotland's big
:07:15. > :07:21.five - the red deer and the red squirrel. This week, we're on the
:07:21. > :07:26.Isle of Skye where we're hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive
:07:27. > :07:33.silky. During the summer months the castle offers boat trips to view
:07:34. > :07:38.the local seal collie. David Clarke is my boatman today. It's very
:07:38. > :07:43.important for seals to spend time on land, hauling out is the term.
:07:43. > :07:46.These are common seals. They come into this area because it's
:07:46. > :07:52.sheltered and it's too shallow for their main predator, the orca, to
:07:52. > :07:55.come in here. They can come in here, haul out, they will mate in here.
:07:55. > :08:01.They'll give birth to their young in here knowing they're perfectly
:08:01. > :08:05.safe from predators. The inquiztive nature and natural grace of the
:08:05. > :08:09.harbour seal make them incredibly popular with ecotourists. But they
:08:09. > :08:15.can also come into conflict with huemans and with numbers declining
:08:15. > :08:22.around the Scottish coast, the seals are a protected species.
:08:22. > :08:26.think it's 250, 300 seals here. It's a big population. The loch
:08:26. > :08:31.itself is designated as a conservation area to protect the
:08:31. > :08:36.habitat for seals. These seals can be covering distances of 50
:08:36. > :08:39.kilometres away from here to feed. Research found a common seal can do
:08:39. > :08:44.100 kilometres in a day. They can hold their breath for 25 minutes.
:08:44. > :08:49.They can dive to depths of 250 metres. The way their body works
:08:49. > :08:53.when under water is something that's quite amazing. When you get
:08:53. > :08:58.up close, you can really see the human quality of the eyes and it's
:08:58. > :09:04.that that's given rise to legend of the silky, when it comes ashore,
:09:04. > :09:08.sheds its skin and marries a local before returning to the sea.
:09:08. > :09:11.Do you think it deserves to be on the big five list? Definitely.
:09:11. > :09:17.They've been here for many, many thousands of years. They belong
:09:17. > :09:20.here and they're part of our landscape. Yeah, definitely. Over
:09:20. > :09:24.the last three weeks, I've seen some of the best wildlife that
:09:24. > :09:34.Scotland has to offer, but what have you managed to see? We asked
:09:34. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:54.to you send in your own wildlife Some fantastic shots there. Next
:09:54. > :10:00.week we are show casing more of your wildlife photographs. Keep
:10:01. > :10:09.sending them in. You get more details on our website,
:10:09. > :10:13.bbc.co.uk/Landward. Still to come - the life of
:10:13. > :10:17.Scottish-born naturalist, John Muir. He's a huge influence across the
:10:17. > :10:23.world. A lot of people have taken inspiration for what he stood for
:10:23. > :10:25.and his messages. We meet the Dunbar pattissier with the
:10:25. > :10:33.Michelin-star training. I was fortunate enough to win paste riff
:10:33. > :10:38.chef of the year for Scotland. pastry chef of the year for
:10:38. > :10:42.Scotland. The rate of youth unemployment in Scotland is 18.6%
:10:42. > :10:45.compared to a national average of just under 8%. There are many
:10:45. > :10:49.initiatives trying to get young people into jobs. Sarah went to
:10:49. > :10:58.Falkirk to look at one especially aimed at young women. It's the
:10:58. > :11:07.Green Action Angels. MUSIC: Theme to Charlie's changels.
:11:07. > :11:12.-- angels. In the 1970s Charlie's angels
:11:12. > :11:16.fought bad guys while clad in revealing outfits. These angels are
:11:16. > :11:22.doing battle with tree branches in high vis. But at the end of the day,
:11:22. > :11:28.the real target is the jobs market. OK, guys, I'm coming in to help.
:11:28. > :11:31.Green Action Angels is one of a series of youth employment
:11:32. > :11:35.initiatives funded by the Forestry Commission. The angels scheme is
:11:35. > :11:42.run in association with the Scottish waterways trust at the
:11:42. > :11:47.Falkirk wheel and is open to ladies aged from 16 to 25. First question
:11:47. > :11:52.asked if we would like to run a project specifically for young
:11:52. > :11:57.women. With the aim of getting more interest on the part of young women
:11:57. > :12:01.in outdoor occupations. A lot of the young women that we're working
:12:01. > :12:06.with are some of the hardest to reach. They're the furthest from
:12:06. > :12:11.the employment market. We're not only teaching them concrete skills
:12:11. > :12:15.for occupations that might be in the outdoors. That is the ideal. We
:12:15. > :12:20.are teaching them softer skills about communicating, working
:12:20. > :12:24.together about being able to make some decisions on their ob. -- own.
:12:24. > :12:28.We're doing confidence building and self-esteem building as well.
:12:28. > :12:32.you pass them to somebody else, pass them by the handles. What do
:12:32. > :12:42.you enjoy about the project? What do you enjoy the most? I like
:12:42. > :12:43.
:12:43. > :12:48.moving and doing stuff. I like it that much I come two days a week.
:12:48. > :12:55.Green Action Angels is just one of a number of schemes the Forestry
:12:55. > :13:00.Commission funds. For many years the Forestry Commission was really
:13:00. > :13:03.about the economic side of thing. Now we're into the social aspect of
:13:03. > :13:07.sustainable forestry, everything to do with people,if you like. We're
:13:07. > :13:12.going into year three of the programme. We're finding from some
:13:12. > :13:16.of the early training exercises that we've had around about half of
:13:16. > :13:20.the young people go towards a positive destination, either a job
:13:20. > :13:30.or further education or training. So we think that's not a bad
:13:30. > :13:31.
:13:31. > :13:35.success rate. What is this going to be for? It's a hedge trying to keep
:13:35. > :13:42.people coming on the trail, to keep them on the path not to venture off
:13:42. > :13:47.it. After volume unteerg on other projects Lindsay is now a mentor on
:13:47. > :13:51.the angels scheme. I was at the Jobcentre one day. I was trying to
:13:51. > :13:55.find work. I seen the news letter lying on the table. So I thought
:13:56. > :14:01.well, that sounds quite good. I'll phone this guy. I phoned him and it
:14:01. > :14:10.changed my life pretty much. I was, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy
:14:10. > :14:15.when I was 17. I thought that there's nothing much out there for
:14:15. > :14:20.me. But this has totally changed my life. It's great. As well as
:14:20. > :14:25.learning basic forestry skills, trained herbalist Anna is teaching
:14:25. > :14:33.the girls how to make use of forest plants. We're going to use the
:14:33. > :14:36.chick weed oil that we made to make a lip balm.
:14:36. > :14:40.Seeing some of these young women from the beginning being shy and
:14:40. > :14:45.reticent, some of them are coming forward and they're tackling
:14:45. > :14:49.activities and some of the tafbgdz that we're giving them with much
:14:49. > :14:54.more confidence -- tasks. They're more willing to work together. Can
:14:54. > :14:58.you see that, the group beginning to bond.
:14:58. > :15:02.The ability to make herbal lip balm won't guarantee a job in the tough
:15:02. > :15:07.market these young ladies are facing, but the team work and
:15:07. > :15:11.communication skills they learn in the process certainly should help.
:15:11. > :15:20.In the end Charlie's Angels always got their man, hopefully,
:15:20. > :15:23.eventually, these angels will get the job of their dreams.
:15:23. > :15:31.If you have a comment about anything you see on the programme
:15:31. > :15:35.or have a wonderful story to chair with us, drop us an e-mail. Now,
:15:35. > :15:40.here in Aberdare, it's a beautiful day, but I still think it's a bit
:15:40. > :15:42.fresh for April. What about the prospects for this weekend and
:15:42. > :15:52.beyond? Here's Judith Ralston with beyond? Here's Judith Ralston with
:15:52. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:57.the weather forecost. Good evening. We are starting with
:15:57. > :16:00.high pressure dominating the weather this evening tonight and
:16:00. > :16:06.tomorrow morning as well. This weather front is waiting in the
:16:06. > :16:10.Atlantic. It's rain bearing as well. And these tightening isobars mean
:16:10. > :16:14.windy conditions too. It's a dry and bright start tomorrow. Lovely
:16:14. > :16:18.spells of sunshine from first light for most of the country as well.
:16:18. > :16:22.Clouds tend toing crease a wee bit across more inland areas during the
:16:22. > :16:24.morning, but not spoiling the day. A lot of dry weather across
:16:24. > :16:28.southern Scotland in particular and eastern Scotland. Good spells of
:16:29. > :16:34.sunshine continuing for much of the day. Highs of 13 Celsius in the
:16:34. > :16:38.south-east, possibly 14 up towards the Murray area. Cloud increases in
:16:38. > :16:41.the North West Highlands. The first signs of that rain into the Western
:16:41. > :16:44.Isles during the course of the afternoon. Should stay largely
:16:44. > :16:48.bright for the Northern Isles as well but cooler than we'll see
:16:48. > :16:51.elsewhere. If you're thinking of heading to the hills tomorrow
:16:51. > :16:54.eastern ranges look like staying dry, bright, good spells of
:16:54. > :16:57.sunshine. Those winds are starting to pick up through the day with
:16:57. > :17:01.gales at top coupled with low temperatures, there will be a
:17:01. > :17:05.severe wind chill factor. Visibility will be good. The border
:17:05. > :17:09.hills faring slightly better. Western ranges more in the way of
:17:09. > :17:13.cloud. Outbreaks of rain possibly sleet and snow over the tops as
:17:13. > :17:17.well through the day. Very windy indeed with gales or severe gale-
:17:17. > :17:22.force winds over the tops as well. It will be bitterly cold. Seems to
:17:22. > :17:25.be a good deal of snow cover on the runs at the moment. It will be
:17:25. > :17:29.windy tomorrow. Check directly with the ski centres if you're thinking
:17:29. > :17:33.of skiing or snowboarding during the weekend. As far as the rest of
:17:33. > :17:37.Saturday is concerned, it's windy with a strong south-westerly wind
:17:37. > :17:42.developing through the day, reaching gale-force across the
:17:42. > :17:45.outer Hebrides and the Northern Isles. That extends across the
:17:45. > :17:49.country tomorrow night. It will be heavy and persistent, particularly
:17:49. > :17:52.across more western areas. It will be a windy night as well. Overnight
:17:52. > :17:57.lows of four or five Celsius. The weather front responsible for all
:17:57. > :18:01.that rain does eventually pull away on Sunday. Then a westerly wind
:18:01. > :18:04.bringing showers mainly across western Scotland. Wet and windy
:18:05. > :18:10.start to Sunday but an improving day on the whole. The rain pulls
:18:10. > :18:18.away. Showers develop especially across the west. For Monday,
:18:18. > :18:22.another weather front approaches bringing outbreaks of rain. It will
:18:22. > :18:25.be a dry start across eastern Scotland. Rain in the west will
:18:25. > :18:29.transfer across eastern areas. Highs of ten or 11 Celsius. It will
:18:29. > :18:33.be quite a breezey day as well. The south-westerly winds are staying
:18:33. > :18:38.with us for much of the week. As far as Tuesday is concerned, a
:18:38. > :18:44.quieter day. Looks like being predominantly dry, even spells of
:18:44. > :18:48.sunshine across the country. Another weather front approaching
:18:49. > :18:54.on Wednesday, more wet and windy on Wednesday, more wet and windy
:18:54. > :18:58.weather. Over the past couple of weeks, Nick
:18:58. > :19:02.has met an artisan baker of game pies and a man passionate about
:19:02. > :19:07.bread without additives. In the final part of his series, he meets
:19:07. > :19:12.a pa SIS yay who has trained with - - pattissier who has trained with
:19:12. > :19:16.some of the world's best chefs. For Scotland's High Street bakers
:19:16. > :19:20.times are tough as production costs rise and supermarkets out compete
:19:20. > :19:22.on price. Where most towns and villages once had a local
:19:22. > :19:29.independent bakery, nowadays they're becoming something of a
:19:29. > :19:33.rarity. But here in Dunbar, they've reversed the trend with the opening
:19:33. > :19:37.of a brand new community High Street bakery. I've come to meet
:19:38. > :19:47.the head baker, who's putting some very fancy pattissier back on the
:19:48. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :19:59.So, Ross, what are you making here? We're going to make a little cake,
:19:59. > :20:07.a chocolate and hazelnut one today. Chocolate mousse and you have got a
:20:07. > :20:16.meringue... Yes a flourless sponge. And a chocolate biscuit. This one
:20:16. > :20:19.is an onglaise emulsified with chocolate. The bakery started with
:20:19. > :20:22.the community as a whole missing their family bakery that was here
:20:22. > :20:28.initially. The bakery had to close. Then a group of people got together
:20:28. > :20:36.and started raising money and we've got 611 shareholders. That's all
:20:36. > :20:42.local people, a community, that have invested a minimum of �20.
:20:42. > :20:47.Ross, tell me about yourself and how you come to be here. I've grown
:20:47. > :20:52.up in baking. My grandfather was a baker. He had a traditional
:20:52. > :21:00.Scottish bakery. My uncle, then my sister and my self-. It's in the
:21:00. > :21:05.blood. I went to work with Albert Rioux. I won pastry chef of the
:21:05. > :21:09.year for Scotland in 2011. Stkpwhri remember that actually. -- I
:21:09. > :21:14.remember that actually. You're going to finish this off. We're
:21:14. > :21:19.going to put, I made a chocolate decoration earlier. I tend to
:21:19. > :21:25.decorate my cakes with a French macaroon. And there's some gold
:21:25. > :21:30.leaf just to add the final detail to the cake. Fantastic. I mean that
:21:30. > :21:34.is a sensational piece of pattissier. To find it in the
:21:34. > :21:42.Scottish High Street is incredible. I wish you every success for the
:21:42. > :21:48.future. Thanks for visiting. Making these three films has been a
:21:48. > :21:51.really uplifting experience for me. I've found fantastic pies made with
:21:52. > :21:57.great ingredients. Some of the best bread I've ever tasted never mind

:22:25. > :22:28.Muir's life work concentrated on preserving wild lands in America,
:22:29. > :22:32.most notably what's now known as Yosemite National Park. For the
:22:32. > :22:42.first time, his homeland is celebrating his contribution as the

:22:51. > :23:01.California, set in 1200 square miles of pristine land, the park is
:23:01. > :23:03.
:23:03. > :23:06.home to some of the most dramatic seenery -- scenery in the world.
:23:06. > :23:10.The creation of Yosemite National Park and the whole wilderness
:23:10. > :23:13.movement that followed was in part down to the vision of the
:23:13. > :23:19.naturalist John Muir, who's incredibly well known in the United
:23:19. > :23:27.States of America, but who was actually born right here in Dunbar.
:23:27. > :23:31.John Muir discovered his love of nature here. The rock pools, as a
:23:31. > :23:39.boy he was taken by his grandfather learning about the wildlife that
:23:39. > :23:43.was there. When John Muir was 11 years old his family left Dunbar
:23:43. > :23:47.and emigrated to Wisconsin. It was in the USA he would later become
:23:47. > :23:56.famous as a protector of wild places and a creator of national
:23:56. > :24:00.parks. In California in the late 1800s he was vitriolic about the
:24:00. > :24:05.deforestation that was happening, the great swathes of land being
:24:05. > :24:08.lost to exploitation. It's survived for centuries under the Native
:24:08. > :24:14.Americans living there and within a century of the Europeans arriving
:24:14. > :24:24.it was devastated. Muir had the gift of the gab,if you like.
:24:24. > :24:24.
:24:24. > :24:30.could talk to anybody and everybody and enthusiastically. By 1870, his
:24:30. > :24:33.writings were written probably as man whyy as a million Americans.
:24:33. > :24:38.John Muir's writings made him a household name in the United States.
:24:38. > :24:45.It waents long before he had the ear of the President himself. Muir
:24:45. > :24:52.spent three days camping with thee dor ruesvelts where they agreed a
:24:52. > :24:57.template for the protection of the wildlife. Rues velt launched a
:24:57. > :25:04.life-long conservation campaign that would preserve more than 230
:25:04. > :25:09.acres of land. The idea where places could go -- could be set
:25:09. > :25:13.aside so experience nature soon went around the world. John Muir is
:25:13. > :25:18.one of the founders of world conservation and certainly as far
:25:18. > :25:23.as the Americans are concerned, he's the father of their National
:25:23. > :25:29.Park system. The American National Park system is one of the models
:25:29. > :25:34.for other countries. John Muir has been a huge influence across the
:25:34. > :25:38.world. A lot of people have taken inspiration for what he stood for.
:25:38. > :25:46.He loved wild places. He understood nature. He wanted people to
:25:46. > :25:51.experience nature, see it up close. John Muir may have been born 175
:25:51. > :25:57.years ago, but his message is still as relevant today as it was at the
:25:57. > :26:03.end of the 19th century. There's still exploitation of land, still
:26:03. > :26:05.deforestation happening, people not really taking as much care of
:26:06. > :26:09.nature and the natural world as it should be and maybe not
:26:09. > :26:13.understanding that we are part of the natural world. John Muir was
:26:13. > :26:17.very good at understanding that we were a part of nature, that we
:26:17. > :26:21.couldn't stand separately from it or have dominion over it. He was
:26:22. > :26:26.very much, you know, we're all connected, part of the same living,
:26:27. > :26:30.breathing planet that we're on. This Sunday is the first ever John
:26:30. > :26:33.Muir day, which will celebrate the life of this renowned naturalist
:26:33. > :26:42.and finally give him the recognition that he deserves in the
:26:42. > :26:46.land of his birth. The more that people start reading
:26:47. > :26:50.his words and understanding what he was about, I hope they would
:26:50. > :26:55.understand what relevance he still has to the conservation of our land
:26:55. > :27:01.escapes in Scotland and what we can do to improve and restore them.
:27:02. > :27:06.We're beginning to realise that the man that founded world conservation,
:27:06. > :27:10.that's the father of the American national parks, that is the person
:27:10. > :27:20.that politicians turned to when they're looking for the sound bite
:27:20. > :27:25.
:27:25. > :27:29.about the environment, he was a John Muir, the man we have to thank
:27:29. > :27:36.for the conservation of some of our most beautiful wild places. Now
:27:36. > :27:39.here's what we have to look forward to next week: We'll be in Assent to
:27:39. > :27:43.mark the 20th anniversary of the first community land buyout.

:27:47. > :27:51.possession of this estate upon which our forefathers lived and
:27:51. > :27:55.worked. Sarah explores the landscape of one of Scotland's most
:27:55. > :27:59.stunning areas. It's a landscape that noticeably lacks trees, with
:27:59. > :28:06.just a few remnants of ancient woodland dotted across this vast
:28:06. > :28:10.area. And Ewan searches for one of our wildlife icons, the golden
