The Scotland Outdoors podcast from BBC Radio Scotland.

Hello and thanks very much for downloading the Scotland Outdoors podcast.

This is by way of a Boxing Day special edition,

recorded not in the BBC car park, but by a river round a bonfire in Aberdeensia.

There's me, Mark Stephen, joined as always by you and McElwraith and in this occasion, Helen Needham.

Helen, this is your patch essentially, isn't it? This is your fire pit.

Yes, I thought it would be nice to host you here in a socially distant outdoor setting that we could enjoy actually having a fire together and create a bit of festive cheer.

Oh absolutely. You know, we're sitting in front of it and a really beautiful fire. The firewood is just turned to perfection and the microphone cables which are long because of social distancing are melting

in the heat it's it's basically the size of a small bungalow your bonfire yeah we like to do them

big you like big bonfires yes statement bonfires but it's going down a bit and in a wee while we'll

get some cooking on we'll get some things on the fire and eat some treats. T treats. Oh, I like the

sound of treats. We've always had a bit of a fascination, not just with treats on this program, but with

Scandinavia and in particular, Norway. Recently, we've heard about hudding culture there,

and a couple of weeks ago, we learned to bar a new word. Freelot's leave. More than that very soon.
