In this episode, Dougie travels along the shores of the Dornoch Firth to discover how protecting the salt marsh habitat is locking in blue carbon and creating coastlines that are more resilient to climate change.\n\nArlene is in Dumfries and Galloway to meet a new entrant farmer who is setting up a dairy business just as many are leaving the industry. Meanwhile, Anne is near Beauly, visiting a workshop that is building homes from giant Douglas fir trees being felled on the steep slopes of Loch Ness. Rosie is also in the south west, where she meets an abandoned pack of dogs. She finds out about their care at a rescue centre and how they are being rehabilitated for rehoming.\n\nAnd Dougie takes a walk with journalist and broadcaster Glenn Campbell to hear how the Scottish outdoors is helping him with his brain tumour diagnosis.
