In addition to the play, Kyle ran anti-sectarian workshops based upon its message at schools and youth groups in and around Glasgow. Later that year he starred opposite Coronation Street's Charlie Lawson in NLP's stage production of author Des Dillon's comedic play Blue Hen. Director Ken Loach's 2012 comedy The Angel's Share, a film revolving around Glaswegians who discover whisky, saw Kyle feature as Clancy in his first film role.

Motorhome essentials & Scottish hill walking A conversation with a Passing Places listener Iain Gillepsie all about motorhomes, campervans, hillwaking , munro bagging and long distance footpaths in Scotland.  It was great to catch up with Iain and to share some thoughts on how best to travel around Scotland and suggestions on essential equipment  and places to go in Scotland.  So if you would like to be a guest on the podcast please don't hesitate to get in touch.  Equally if you would like more information on where to go in Scotland or what to do on your Scottish adventure then get in touch with the podcast.

Flanders Moss nature Reserve Its great to be back in front of the microphone (yet another new one) after being absent for many months.  I make a few visits to Flanders Moss a national nature reserve near Stirling, some audio from the Western Isles and I update listeners on up and coming developments in the Passing Places podcast.

Interview with Glen Moyer from Louisana USA I'm on the Mull of Kintyre in my van talking to a new friend living across the pond about his impending visit to Scotland.  It's also a birthday week and I'm enjoying being away for my birthday and finally again introducing new voices to Passing Places.  It's great to see technology linking the wider Scottish diaspora to each other and finally rejoining all the Scottish connections across the globe. The internet is bringing people together so check out Glen's blog A Glen in Scotland and for the motorhome and caravan folk I also cover one possible way how you could possibly connect to the web using your mobile phone. I'll be back next week with more details of my current travels in the motorhome.  I'm back on the road travelling around Scotland.

The Hills north of Glasgow Whilst Glasgow unfairly has a reputation merely as an industrial city, it sits in a most beautiful location with some wonderful hills minutes away from the city.  In Passing Places this week I visit The Campsie Fells and mention the exodus of Glaswegians in the 1900's and beyond, as they escaped the smog and discovered the magic of the Scottish countryside. In particular I talk about Tom Weir one of the the most influential men of his time in his ability to share his passion for Scotland.  He is remembered by most, for his STV series Weirs Way but he was much more than that. He was a naturalist, acclaimed climber, prolific writer, photographer and a fantastic ambassador for the wild places of Scotland. I hope to produce an episode of Passing Places this year all about Tom Weir and the current campaign to erect a statue in his memory on the banks of Loch Lomond.

A Happy New Year from Scotland to everybody who listens to Passing Places. In this weeks episode of the podcast I make a few New Year resolutions and a couple of predictions for 2014.  This year is the most significant year in the  history of Scotland. As a nation we face the momentous decision on regaining our independence for our country.  I'm confident that Scotland will vote positively for such a change. I also feel certain that 2014 will redefine our place in the cosmos. The knowledge we have gleaned in the last twenty years about astronomy and the cosmos is difficult to fully comprehend. So I fell confident that this year will see the announcement of an earth like planet in the Goldilocks zone and whilst that for me is profound I also feel certain that we will be able to confirm the existence of life beyond earth. So what an historic year we have ahead.  Join me on my travels around Scotland and get in touch with our listeners if you share an interest, an affinity with, or a desire to travel around Scotland. Happy New Year.

It’s great to be back with another episode of Passing Places. I briefly review a few personal travel highlights from 2013 and go on to mention that 2014 is the Year of Homecoming Scotland. As well as the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles we have the independence referendum to look forward to.  It’s going to be the biggest year in Scotland certainly in my lifetime. It is also the seven hundredth anniversary of The Battle of Bannockburn which took place a few miles away from my home. A major refurbishment of the visitor attraction is just nearing completion as well as restoration of the monuments on the site. So if you are visiting Scotland during the year of homecoming a visit to Bannockburn, Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument would be highly recommended.  I think Stirling is rightly justified in being called the heart of Scotland.

USA - Scottish Travels Featuring Part One of Joyce & Carlo from Boston on their recent Highland adventure as well as other listener conversations about some great locations to visit in Scotland over the winter months. Many listeners who got in touch favour the North West coast of Scotland as well as the North coast. Gairloch, Lochcarron & Gruinard Bay near Ullapool are all covered.  So whether you live in the UK, the USA or anywhere else in the world, if you have a travel story about Scotland or are considering visiting Scotland, I'd love to you here from you. in Passing Places this week I also pick up on a wonderful suggestion for a woodland gorge walk in the Cowal peninsula in Argyll.  I mention the importance of  over wintering your van to protect against frost damage and burst pipes in particular.  Part Two of Joyce and Carlo's Highland adventure is in next weeks podcast.  I have just re-listened and can't believe I called Skipness - Skipton.  Dreadful.  Apologies, will correct myself next week.

USA Visitors to Scotland I'm in the village of  Killin in Stirlingshire.  In this weeks episode of Passing Places I catch up with Joyce and Carlo from Boston, USA, to say hello and to hear first hand how they have enjoyed their vacation in Scotland.  I also have an in-depth interview with Bonnie Hofkin from her home in California.  I also touch upon the feedback I have had about Passing Places and how I might improve the weekly podcast of my travels around Scotland in the coming weeks. If you are from the USA and you plan to visit Scotland in the future please get and touch and our podcast community of listeners will offer you whatever help we can to ensure you have the the very best vacation in Scotland.   You can get in touch on Facebook by typing into the search box at the the top of the Facebook screen - Passing Places Podcast Group.  Just join our group and share your passion for Scotland with all of us. Killin is a lovely little village to visit or to base yourself for a few days.  The falls of Dochart are wonderful.  They flow through the old bridge at the top end of the end of the village.  In summer it's a great spot for a picnic and in winter the awesome strength of the river as it thunders through Killin is a really impressive sight to experience.

The Sounds of Scotland In Passing Places this week I review the progress of the podcast over the past seven months and seek listener feedback on how to take the podcast forward in the coming weeks and months over the winter here in Scotland.  My podcast to date has been largely in a monologue format with a few interviews of people on my travels and a fair sprinkling of the sounds of Scotland. I'm keen to record more audio out and about and I'm very interested in what you the listener would like to hear on Passing Places.  I often talk about where I am and what I'm up to.  I also stray at times into my version or recollection of Scottish history.  Of special interest to me however is to bring you more of the sounds of Scotland. I feel that might help you have the sense that you are there with me on location. So please get in touch and give me your opinions and your preferences, if you have any, as to what you would like to see and hear by way of content. I have I think improved the audio this week.  If you can hear the difference in the audio quality I would also appreciate you letting me know.  Why don't you try using the Speakpipe voicemail service which is free and available here on my web site.  You can practice your submission before finally pressing send. :) Thank you so much for listening to and supporting Passing Places.  I do hope you get in touch.

Back from France Well I'm back from France and returning to my weekly podcast schedule about my ongoing travels around Scotland. France turned out to be a great trip and a country I would like to live in on a more full time basis at some point in the future.  However in the meantime let's get on with celebrating and enjoying the more remote and rugged parts of Scotland. In this weeks episode I reflect on my time in France and look forward to getting back out in the motorhome next week probably, given the weather, somewhere on the East coast of Scotland. It would be great to hear from listnerews to the podcast so why don't you get in touch with Passing Places either by voice-mail, Twitter or Facebook. It's good to be back online.

The podcast is recorded in Stirling this week with some reference to Birnam & Dunkeld in Perthshire where I stayed last week-end but also some outdoor recording of a local livestock sheep auction and reflections about my preparations for my up an coming trip to France.  I don't intend to produce my normally weekly podcast over the next five or six weeks but I will be podcasting during my trip on an ad-hoc basis. A big thank you to everybody who is listening to Passing Places.  I have now been podcasting for four months and I have traveled far and wide across Scotland and it's islands.  I'll return to the normal weekly show in mid August when I'll get back out in the Scottish countryside to enjoy some wild camping as well as the facilities on some of the many Scottish campsites. Have a great holiday if you are travelling this summer.

The very first episode of Passing Places.
