Did you know that you can listen to many of your favorite podcasts first on BBC Sounds?

Like Desert Island Discs, where you can hear castaways like Cher, Gareth Southgate and Nick Cave,

and enjoy longer versions of the music they've picked. Good things come to those who don't wait.

Listen to your favorite podcasts first on BBC Sounds. Hello and thank you very

much for downloading the Scotland Outdoors podcast. I'm Mark Stephen. He's Ewan McElwreath. Now, as you may

and may not know, this podcast is based upon a live radio programme we do for BBC Radio Scotland called

Out of Doors. We do it in the car park in BBC Aberdeen.

Don't ask me why, it's a long story.

But we're such a crack in time on the live programme

because we had a guest in this week.

Pauline Cordler.

She's a professional storyteller.

With a fantastic time,

Ewan got to indulge his love of steam trains,

not in the car park, obviously, and I found somewhere that is just flooded with Christmas spirit.

We love coming in here and just spending an hour, I spent Saturday in here the whole day, and just had a blast.

It keeps us going through this cold spell as well, doesn't it?

It's a bit of a highlight for ourselves.

And they're awfully cheery.

They're all in the festive form, aren't they?

They're all happy.

It's really nice.
