Atlantic Edge

One morning in 1968, at 3am, and during a NATO military training exercise, Ceramic Artist Lotte Glob and her family arrived at Balnakeil with plans to make it their new home. In episode four of Atlantic Edge, Lotte and Ronnie Lansley - who arrived in 1981 - discuss the early days of Balnakeil Craft Village and how it went from nuclear early warning station to a thriving artistic community.

This month's episode of Atlantic Edge explores Smoo Cave - near Durness in the Scottish Highlands. Our guides Colin and Fraser tell us about the history and geology of this amazing natural wonder, and what they believe may be another hidden cave system waiting to be discovered.

Welcome to the second episode of Atlantic Edge - a series of podcasts that explore the people and places of Durness: the Scottish Highlands' most north-westerly community, located in the furthest corner of Sutherland. In our second episode, we meet Nicola, who after leaving Durness as a teenager decided to return several years later to set up a business.

Welcome to the first episode of Atlantic Edge – a series of podcasts that explore the people and places of Durness: the Scottish Highlands' most north-westerly community, located in the furthest corner of Sutherland. Our first episode is about remote Cape Wrath: the most North Westerly point of Scotland. No roads go to Cape Wrath but between Easter and mid-October it is possible to make the spectacular journey by a combination of boat and mini-bus to the impressive Cape Wrath lighthouse where you can enjoy the abundant wildlife and have a cup of tea in Britain’s remotest cafe. Hear from the people who make the tour happen and about the unforgettable experience enjoyed by visitors.
