Dougie takes to the waters of Loch Fyne in the company of Alistair Sinclair, the Chairman of the Scottish Creel Fishermen鈥檚 Federation. They are on the hunt for Squat Lobster a little known shellfish that many people believe is tastier than Langoustine or Lobster.

As farmers across Scotland reach the final stages of this year鈥檚 harvest it is also three months since the historic vote for Britain to leave the European Union. Sarah visits three farmers as they battle against the elements to harvest their crops while reflecting on the impact of the Brexit vote.

Dougie joins a unique collaboration between conservation groups and landowners to help the recovery of the Hen Harrier population. The 鈥淗eads up for Harriers鈥� project involves placing cameras at Hen Harrier nest sites across the country to try to find out the causes of nest failures.

Sarah visits the Black Isle where a previously unrecorded species of Great Crested Newt has been found on farmland.听 Local farmers are now working with conservation groups to ensure the Black Isle Newts have the ideal habitat for their survival.
