In the first episode of the series, Dougie is at the stunning Tenstmuir National Nature Reserve by Tayport in Fife. He finds out how the reserve has coped with the dramatic surge in visitors during lockdown, as local people reconnect with the nature on their doorstep. He also catches up with the new president of the farmer’s union to assess how the industry is coping post-Brexit.\n\nMeanwhile, Euan looks back on the lessons learned as we mark the 20th anniversary of the foot-and-mouth outbreak, while Anne is in Sutherland finding out what it was like to attend the most remote school in Britain.\n\nAnd Arlene is on the banks of the Forth hoping to catch sight of a humpback whale called Barney.
