Rachel joins the annual Eyemouth Herring Queen celebration to meet this year’s newly crowned queen and to find out why the tradition is so important to the community.
New Arc Wildlife Rescue in Aberdeenshire is the largest rescue centre in the north east of Scotland. This summer, the team have seen their busiest months ever, partly due to the hot weather. Mark meets Paul Reynolds to find out how the centre is managing the increased number of fledgling rescues.
