The great Victorian collector of minerals Matthew Heddle mentions two places in particular for the finding of aquamarine in Scotland, one the island of Arran and the other a mountain in the Cairngorms. But locating these gems is another story.The Cairngorm mountains are a kind of fortress. There is nowhere else like them in Scotland. You enter their world from one side or another and thereafter are inside them until you withdraw once more. You become aware of other noises than the ones that dominate our days: you hear streams, the breeze lifting the pine trees, the wind in the high hills once you have climbed into them. It's an elemental place: pure and to all intents and purposes undamaged, undisturbed.Kenneth Steven explores the history of this semi-precious stone and reflects in poetry on his finds.Presenter Kenneth Steven Producer Mark RickardsA Whistledown Scotland production

David and Rachel discuss the worst mountaineering disaster in Great Britain's history.

Dr Richard Marsh had a stellar career starting as an engineer on the famous Concorde supersonic aircraft, moving on to found a pioneering robotic submersibles business, then moving on to sonar technology. Now retired, he lives in a beautiful 1765 red granite “laird's house” in the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland, owns a small fleet of vintage cars, hosts the annual Lonach Highland Games on his estate, and enjoys occasional visits from King Charles III who lives nearby at Balmoral. This successful and fulfilling life had a most tragic and unpromising start when at 17 young Richard was ejected from his parent's house and forced to fend for himself in a caravan (travel trailer) – due to the cruel edicts of JTJr – his only crime being that he disagreed with the doctrine of separation. The brethren's cruel mistreatment of Richard continues right up to the present time, when the PBCC only thought to notify him of his brother's death AFTER the burial…An inspiring and thought-provoking interview with a truly remarkable man.

Sue Stockdale talks to Vicki Tough, an arborist, tree climbing Instructor and Rope Access Level 3, Work at Height professional about the highs and lows of her job, and finds out about the Big Canopy Campout: an annual tree top event that connects tree climbing and forest enthusiasts around the world. Vicki grew up in the Cairngorm mountains of Scotland which set the scene for a fascination with the natural world. After pursuing a Zoology Degree at the University of Glasgow, Vicki's first experience of a rainforest in Ecuador became the catalyst for her career as a Work at Height Professional, Arborist and Tree Climbing Instructor. She founded Sylvana Alta to combine these professions and promote scientific exploration in forest canopies worldwide, believing that the greater understanding of its value will better protect it for the future. Vicki has organised, participated in, and led research expeditions for over 18 years assisting and contributing to scientific studies in South America, Indonesia, Europe and Australia. An IRATA level 3 supervisor Vicki has over 12 years of industrial rope access experience; working on large scale construction projects throughout the UK and Europe and contributing to the less than 1% of females in this role. Working in these contrasting environments has enabled an appreciation and understanding of technical rigging solutions and the importance of teamwork in often challenging conditions.In 2017 Vicki and several other climbing professionals set up Big Canopy Campout C.I.C and the event has grown to encompass participants from 36 different countries raising money to support grassroot organisations in their fight to protect their local forested areas.This series is kindly supported by Squadcast –the remote recording platform which empowers podcasters by capturing high-quality audio and video conversations.

Not only the buildings, but also just the grandeur of the event and it bringing the whole world together.' ‘Everything takes 10 times longer and you really need to prepare before you set out.' ‘I would wear overalls that looked like they were designed for my father.'‘It was just this drive to explore and to ask questions. I was always such a curious child.' ‘When I show researchers how to climb they're just so enthusiastic, trying to get up this tree so that they can see the thing that they want to research that they're not bothered by the height.' ‘Tree climbing and rope access, comes with stereotypes. It comes with a lot of people thinking, you gotta be fast, you've gotta be strong. you've gotta have muscles. A lot of people are a little bit surprised when I rock up - eight and a half stone, and five foot six.'Read the transcription for this episode on www.accesstoinspiration.org and connect with us:Twitter www.twitter.com/accessinspirat1 Facebook www.facebook.com/accesstoinspiration Instagram www.instagram.com/accesstoinspiration LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/company/access-to-inspiration/Sign up for our newsletter http://eepurl.com/hguX2b Read our Impact Report https://bit.ly/3hElalv Sound Editor: Matias de Ezcurra (he/him)Series Producer: Sue Stockdale (she/her)

I caught up with Inverness-based Alec Keith who has been a prominent figure in Scottish hill running over the past 30 years. One-time holder of records for the Cairngorm 4000s, Cairngorm Big Six and Mullardoch Round, Alec revels in good long days out in the mountains, often alone, and he was quietly doing what he loves in the hills long before most of us were eating hot dinners! Over the years Alec has made the top few places in rough, rugged races such as Glamaig, Glenshee 9 and Jura Fell Race. We talk through some of his top hill memories, touching on the Hebridean Challenge and Scottish Islands Peaks races as well as hearing about the best way not to carry 22 bananas on a 60 mile run...

In the home stretch of this holiday season, wildlife veterinarian Jerry Haigh, author of Reindeer Reflections: Lessons from an Ancient Culture, sits down with you for a one-of-a-kind romp through the reindeer lore and science. Reindeer are sure to put you in the mood for peace on Earth. Get to know these stunningly gorgeous and supremely gentle creatures, find out when and why to call them "caribou," and learn how spellbinding their lives are under the northern lights. Included in the Show Notes, below and on the This Animal Life website, you'll find many links to videos that will further immerse you in their beauty and wonder.  Jerry Haigh is a cross between James Herriot and Farley Mowat, a wry and compassionate veterinarian who's ventured far from his native Scotland to travel four continents, all to bring health and healing to animals, both wild and domestic. He's written books about everything from porcupines to rhinos, but his latest book finds him tending to the reindeer of Finland and Mongolia.  So strap on your snowshoes and tromp along as Jerry regales you with mind-blowing facts about reindeer. For example what, if anything, is so special about Rudolph's nose? Discover the stunning truth about this supremely peaceful animal.   SHOW NOTES: Adopt a Reindeer Foundation Cairngorm Reindeer Herd on Facebook Cairngorm Reindeer Herd: Home  The Cairngorm Reindeer Herd is Britain's only free-ranging herd of reindeer found in the Cairngorm mountains in Scotland.

It's getting close to Christmas and we had some special visitors to our town recently to turn the Christmas lights on. Reindeer! Reindeer are of course very significant this time of year as it's Reindeer who famously pull Santa's sleigh. Did you know that Scotland has its own herd of reindeer, in fact they are the Uk's only free-ranging herd of reindeer living mainly in the Cairngorm mountains, close to the town of Aviemore. I'd like to tell you a bit about them today. Reindeer were actually native to the UK until around the 13th century but they unfortunately died out, becoming extinct for a number of reasons but probably due to climate change or hunting. They were eventually reintroduced in 1952 thanks to a Swedish man, Mikel Utsi. Mikel Utsi was born in Karesuando, northern Sweden, into a reindeer-owning Sàmi family and following his marriage and move to the UK, he was actually on his honeymoon in the Cairngorm mountains when he realised how similar the landscape and climate was to his homeland and decided to try to reintroduce Reindeer here. The Cairngorm mountain range has sub arctic conditions, the only part of the UK to do so and is often subjected to blizzards, snow and ice. The perfect environment for hardy reindeer. The first 7 reindeer were brought over from Sweden by ship and quarantined at Edinburgh Zoo before being released in the Cairngorm mountains. Over the years the herd has grown substantially and there are now 150 Reindeer, most freely roaming the Cairngorm mountain range. They aren't wild, every Reindeer has been named and a close eye is kept on them but they are mostly free to go where they want. If you go to the town of Aviemore you can visit the Reindeer Centre and take an organised hill trip up to the mountains to feed the reindeer who may even eat out of your hands! It's a wonderful experience to see these animals up close in their own environment. Some interesting facts about reindeer, they have 2 layers of fur to keep them warm and very wide hooves which are a bit like snow shoes and stop them from sinking into the snow. Both male and female reindeers can grow antlers and they can easily find food under the snow by using their hooves. They mostly eat grasses, moss shrubs and trees. In winter it's mostly lichen. Some of the reindeer have been trained to pull sleighs and they occasionally travel around the country in the run up to Christmas. As well as visiting the reindeer in their natural habitat you can also adopt one. For a small fee you can help support the work of the Reindeer Centre, run mostly by volunteers and receive regular updates on how your reindeer and the herd are doing. There are more than a 1000 supporters from all over the world. I hope you get a chance to visit these magnificent creatures one day. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adventuresinenglish/message

Helen Needham and Mark Stephen with this week's Scotland Outdoors podcast.

The skill of stone masonry, ski-ing in the Cairngorm and the beauty and benefits of paths

With Mark Stephen and Euan McIlwraith.

Nine years ago, yes NINE, in 2010 I released a short 3 part series entitled Three Men In The Cairngorms which recorded an audio diary of Lee, Tony and myself as we headed into the Cairngorms for a weeks walking and wild camping.They were a very popular series of just three normal guys going for a wander and so when lee called me in summer this year asking if I wanted to join them again for another mini adventure I didn't hesitate.Once again Lee was in charge of the router and the plan was to spend the first 2 days up on the Cairngorm plateau at the Wells of Dee and then drop back down via Loch Eanaich back to Aviemore. Pick up our second rations and then catch the train to Dalwhinnie and head for Ben Alder Lodge, round to Lock Ossian and then walk into Fort William along Glen Nevis.However Storm Lorenzo had other ideas and this is part one of our adventure.

Transcript -- Originally from Hertfordshire, Tilly married a Keeper from Cairngorm and has lived in the area since the early 80s. They run a famous reindeer herd and visitor attraction near Aviemore, and 30 miles further East a farm with rare breed pigs, sheep and wild boar. She is cynical about the purpose of the National Park – she feels it’s simply another level of bureaucracy, and she can’t identify many changes it’s produced.

If you think of mountains and mysterious creatures, your mind probably turns to the Abominable Snowman. Especially if you're thinking about humanoid figures half-glimpsed in treacherous conditions. Yet you may not immediately think of the Grey Man of Ben Macdui.Ben Macdui is the second-highest mountain in Scotland after Ben Nevis. It lies among the Cairngorm mountains in the eastern Highlands. A favorite with climbers, it's also believed to be the home of the mysterious Grey Man.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
