The North Coast 500 is one of the most iconic cycling routes in the world. A challenging 500-mile loop around the rugged Scottish Highlands, it demands resilience, planning, determination, and an ability to keep moving when everything in your body is telling you to stop.In this episode, we sit down with newly ratified North Coast 500 Women's World Record holder, Caroline Livesey, to hear the story behind her remarkable ride.From the early planning stages and months of preparation through to the highs, lows and defining moments out on the road, Caroline shares what it really takes to ride the NC500 at world-record pace.Joining the conversation is Mark Livesey, who was part of the support crew throughout the attempt. Mark offers a unique perspective from behind the scenes, discussing the realities of managing a moving operation around the clock, making critical decisions under pressure, and helping keep the rider focused on the task at hand.Together, they explore the importance of teamwork in ultra-endurance cycling. World records are rarely individual achievements, and Caroline's ride was no exception.The episode highlights the contribution of a dedicated support team whose collective efforts helped turn an ambitious goal into a historic achievement.We also discuss the key partnerships that played a crucial role in the success of the record attempt. Precision Fuel & Hydration were instrumental in developing and refining Caroline's nutrition and hydration strategy, ensuring that energy intake matched the demands of riding at record pace for over 32 hours. Meanwhile, EZ Gains worked extensively to optimise Caroline's aerodynamic position and equipment setup, helping extract every possible advantage over such a long and demanding route.The conversation covers strengths and weaknesses, lessons learned, moments that went exactly to plan, and those that required adaptation on the fly.

In this episode of the DSC's Campfires podcast, recorded on location at a battlefield in Scotland, Larry interviews Stefan Bengtson, who has co-owned and operated Scandinavian Pro Hunters with his wife, Sophia, since 2002. Stefan and his wife run an outfitting business that specializes in big game hunting and wing shooting worldwide, with a primary focus on short-travel European destinations. Big Game Hunting Destinations Scandinavian Pro Hunters offers a wide variety of big game species across several European countries: Sweden: Hunters can pursue European bison (wisent), large roebucks, European red stag, fallow stag, mouflon sheep, wild boar, and European moose. Norway: The outfitter provides scenic walk-and-stalk hunts for European reindeer in pure wilderness environments. Finland: The country offers unique opportunities for free-range whitetail and forest reindeer. Greenland: Available species include muskox and Greenland caribou. Scotland: Hunters can target roe deer, sika, and Scottish red stag. England: Available game includes Chinese water deer, muntjac, English red stag, Manchurian sika, Japanese sika, and roe deer. Eastern Europe: Hunts in Poland, Hungary, Serbia, and Romania are primarily focused on roe deer and red stag. Multi-Species Trips: Dedicated hunters have the unique opportunity to target multiple red stag species across different countries during a single trip. Wing Shooting and Waterfowl The outfitter provides highly social and challenging bird hunting experiences: VIP Upland Hunts: Hosted in Sweden, these hunts operate without strict bag limits, allowing hunters to take 10 to 30 birds each. Mixed Bags: Shooters can expect a mixture of pheasants, Hungarian partridges, hare, mallards, and teal, hunted alongside pointing dogs and spaniels. High-Volume Duck Hunts: Groups of 10 to 12 guns can shoot between 400 and 700 birds in a single day across various ponds. Driven Woodcock: A highly challenging late-season hunt is offered in the Scottish Highlands from late November through January. Driven Hunts: Traditional driven bird hunts are also available in Spain, Italy, and France. Guest Logistics and Amenities The company focuses heavily on the overall client experience, catering to both hunters and their companions: Firearms: While clients can navigate the paperwork to bring their own equipment, the outfitter highly recommends utilizing the quality local firearms provided by their gamekeepers. Fishing Combinations: Clients hunting in Scotland can easily combine their trips with salmon fishing or lake fishing for large trout using a Spey rod. Non-Hunter Activities: The company offers "hosted hunts" which include renting large manor houses equipped with private chefs, along with organized sightseeing tours for spouses and non-hunting companions. Expert Local Guides: Stefan notes that their success and high rate of repeat clientele are largely due to their relationships with expert local guides. Conservation and Contact Information Conservation Support: The host explicitly thanks Stefan and Sophia for their ongoing support of conservation efforts and for consistently donating hunts to the DSC and the DSC Foundation.

Episode 674 of The Knife Junkie Podcast is a deep look at daggers—one of the most discussed and most misunderstood blade categories in the knife community. Bob DeMarco brings out twelve daggers for a collection update that covers everything from a World War II-era KA-BAR/EK Commando Knife to a Microtech SBD trade pickup he had been hunting for years. The lineup includes the Randall Knives Model 2-7 Combat Stiletto, Cold Steel Peace Keeper II, Spartan Harsey Dagger, Spartan George Raider Dagger, and the Cold Steel Tai Pan in San Mai, among others. Bob talks grip technique, blade geometry, what Cold Steel gets right about the slash, and why some daggers are better suited to thrusting while others handle both jobs well.Before the dagger segment, Bob runs a pocket check from a real working day—assembling a shed in the backyard—featuring the Spyderco Manix 2 Lightweight in S110V, the Fisher Blades Harvey PK, the Edgy American Blades Junkie in CruWear, and a Cold Steel Laredo Bowie that was standing by just in case. The episode also features the First Tool segment on the Scottish Highland basket-hilt broadsword, covering its role in the Jacobite risings and its significance to Highland culture since the Battle of Culloden in 1746.The State of the Collection segment features a custom seax from Matt Chase of Hogtooth Knives—pattern-welded from 1085, 15N20, and nickel, with elk antler and Micarta scales and a hand-engraved leather sheath—that Bob called his unofficial Blade Show purchase for 2026. Bob also shows off a six-knife Cordura carrying case and hand-thrown stoneware mug from Terzuola Design, sent by merch czar Ben Odi. Knife Life News covers Spyderco Reveal 21 highlights, including a Mickey Yurco Gunting collaboration, the CRKT Squid II with M390 and wood handles, the Boker Overnighter by FP Knives, and the upcoming Civivi Almaris slipjoint.Whether you are a longtime dagger collector or just starting to pay attention to double-edged blades, Episode 674 gives you a thorough and entertaining look at why this category deserves a place in any serious collection. Bob wraps up with plans to keep growing the dagger side of his collection, so this is not the last time the topic comes up.Find the list of all the knives shown in the show and links to the Knife Life news stories at https://theknifejunkie.com/674.

Leaders say their teams are empowered. The teams won't make a decision. Somewhere between those two sentences sits the real problem.This episode tackles the gap between the rhetoric of empowerment and the reality of approval-bottlenecked, micromanaged teams. Kate is joined from the Scottish Highlands by Anu Smalley and Ryan Smith for an honest look at why so many "empowered" teams quietly wait to be told what to do, why leaders struggle to let go, and what it actually takes to design autonomy into the system instead of just declaring it.Most organizations don't have an accountability problem; they have an ownership problem. Without ownership, accountability is just a polite word for blame. This conversation is a working tour through what changes that — the system shifts, the trust mechanics, the working agreements, and the daily moves leaders can make to stop rescuing and start coaching.In this episode, we discuss:The three-legged stool of trust — clarity, capability, and visibility — and how to spot which leg is wobbly when you feel the urge to micromanageWhy the system around a team has to absorb the shift in power before autonomy can take holdOrder takers vs. artisans, and how organizations train people out of ownershipWorking agreements that make trust visible: blockers surfaced in 24 hours, no surprises at Sprint Review, no scope-switching mid-sprint, and done means doneDecision-making guardrails that replace approval queues, including the team empowered to spend up to $200 against the core valuesTracking emergent work as the real accountability gap leaders rarely look atThe Pomodoro escalation pattern — solo, pair, team, stop and reassess — that ends hero culture and 4am debugging sessionsWhy leadership's two pillars are clarity of purpose and competence, not managing the workThe shift from "I know the answer" to "How can I help you find the answer?" Hope is not a strategy for empowerment. The goal isn't less leadership. It's leadership that creates more leaders.Referenced in this episode: Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquette, the Pomodoro Technique, and our recent episode You Don't Have a Strategy Problem: You Have an Execution Problem (Ep. 172).

On 29 September 2017, retired Royal Navy veteran and cancer survivor Tony Parsons set out on a 104-mile charity bike ride through the Scottish Highlands. He stopped at the Bridge of Orchy Hotel for a coffee just before midnight, then cycled into the darkness. He was never seen alive again. For more than three years, Tony's family searched for answers as the case grew cold. Then in 2020, a Glasgow pathologist named Caroline Muirhead became engaged to a charming Highland gamekeeper, only for him to confess a devastating secret on a quiet country road. What she did next would expose one of Scotland's most haunting hit and run cover-ups, lead to the discovery of Tony's body marked by a crushed Red Bull can, and reveal the terrifying truth that he had been left alive on the roadside to die alone.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

The Scottish Highlands are many things, but “tropical” isn't usually listed as one of them. However, Stewart Walker, distillery manager of Fettercairn Whisky talks about how they've found a way to get passionfruit, pineapple, and other notes more commonly associated with tiki cocktails into their Scotch. Stewart talks with Greg and Sother about Fettercairn's long history in the highlands, their storied past as makers of blended scotch before they delved into single malts, the unique cooling ring technique that gives them their tropical house style and their advanced age statements, including a 40 year-old scotch whisky that your hosts are lucky enough to try.PLUS, French citizens consumed more beer than wine recently for the first time in recorded history. Greg and Sother break down what that means and if it has anything to do with the recent resurgence of pregaming in the United States.Follow Fettercairn on Instagram at @fettercairnwhiskyLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

"I hope I give you the shits, you fucking wimp."The Horror Bulls head into the Scottish Highlands for Dog Soldiers (2002), Neil Marshall's savage blend of military action, siege horror, and practical-effects werewolf carnage. We break down the creature design, the squad chemistry, and why this movie absolutely refuses to slow down once the howling starts.

When 63-year-old charity cyclist Tony Parsons vanished during a bike ride through the Scottish Highlands, his family feared the worst. For years, police searched the remote mountains and forests around Bridge of Orchy but found absolutely nothing. No bike. No body. No answers. Then, in a twist stranger than fiction, the case suddenly exploded open because of a confession. A man named Sandy McKellar allegedly admitted to his fiancée that he and his twin brother had hit Tony with their truck back in 2017… and instead of calling for help, they hid his body deep in the wilderness. In this video, we break down the full horrifying story behind Tony Parsons' disappearance, the massive police search, the shocking role Sandy's fiancée Caroline played in solving the case, and the heartbreaking truth investigators uncovered years later. We are going to be diving deep into this case in our Members video so keep your eyes peeled for that one as well! #TrueCrimeRecaps #TonyParsons #ShouldIMarryAMurderer #CarolineMuirhead #SandyMcKellar Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2020, pathologist Caroline Muirhead swiped right on a gamekeeper from the Scottish Highlands. Her whirlwind romance with Sandy McKellar led to a quick proposal. But before the wedding, her fiancé confided that years earlier, he and his twin brother killed a man and hid his body. Muirhead was torn between her love for McKellar and her duty to turn him in. Her work with police to gather evidence only drew her further into their drug-and-booze fueled relationship. Muirhead found herself spiraling, as she raced to learn more about the crime before McKellar could catch on to her.  In the Netflix series “Should I Marry a Murderer?” Muirhead tells her story of romance, homicide, and self-destruction.  The show serves as both a tense procedural inside her efforts to uncover the details about the crimes of her fiancé, as well as a confessional for the lovestruck doctor about her mistakes along the way.

In this episode, we sit down with Peter Sheppard and his daughter Heather Sheppard-Lunn of Sheppard Farm on Apple Hill in south-central Pennsylvania as they look ahead to a milestone 50th anniversary celebration. Peter shares how the fold began in 1976 with just six cows and one bull—and how decades of intentional breeding built a program centered on traditional Scottish Highland standards, calving ease, and foraging ability, resulting in 560+ registered animals in the National Herdbook.Heather talks about launching their direct-to-customer grass-fed Highland beef sales in 2008, growing the herd to serve both beef buyers and brood cow clients, and preparing the next generation as her daughters get involved. Together, they discuss why they carefully screen buyers and what it means to bring home an Apple Hill Highland—clean genetics, classic conformation, and a long-term commitment to the breed.Sheppard Farms on Apple Hill: http://www.sheppardfarmonapplehill.com/Send us Fan Mail From the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

Instead of shrinking, she used it as fuel and went on to become a professor of maternal health and a senior university leader, while staying deeply connected to what matters most in maternity care: women's choices, experiences, and outcomes.We talk through the real-world impact of a boutique midwifery education in the Scottish Highlands, what regional training can teach you that big-city systems often miss, and why continuity of care and one-to-one support in labour still sit at the centre of safe, humane practice. Tracy also shares how her master's and PhD work grew from everyday clinical frustration with protocol-driven care that wasn't always evidence-based, and how mentorship and being embedded in strong research teams can turn a clinician into a confident, capable researcher.The conversation then shifts to induction of labour and the rising global rates. Tracy offers a challenging but practical reframe: the goal is not simply to drive numbers down, but to ensure women are adequately informed, offered real alternatives, and supported through shared decision-making and consent. We also explore her work in global maternal health and policy roles, what brought her to Australia just before Covid, and why midwifery autonomy and funding models shape everything from workforce planning to women's access to midwife-led care.If you care about midwifery, maternity services, women-centred care, and evidence-based practice, you'll get a lot from this one.

Join Cult of the Living Dead as we trek through fog-covered Scottish Highlands, isolated farmhouses, and blood-soaked forests in Dog Soldiers.

We explore how Sergeant Wells' doomed training mission, Cooper's growing resolve, and the squad's desperate attempts to survive the night transform the werewolf myth into a claustrophobic war story fueled by paranoia, camaraderie, and savage practical effects.

Bradley Klein joins us today to take a look at the life and times of one of Dornoch's favourite sons.... none other than Donald Ross. Over the course of our conversation we explore young Donald's early days in the Scottish Highlands and in the East Neuk of Fife under the guidance of OTM. His appointment as keeper of the green and professional at Dornoch GC and the chance visit of a well connected Harvard Professor to Dornoch in late 1898 which led to life altering opportunities in Boston and later throughout the USA. We take a look at some early projects, the Ross influence in North Carolina, a Colt collaboration at Old Elm, Seminole & the host of this years PGA Championship Aronimink in Philadelphia. We assess the importance of key associates, explore his design tendancies and how the formation of the Donald Ross Society has facilitated and assisted with restoring many Ross courses to their former glories. Many thanks for tuning in, we hope you enjoy the chat! Episode music - Nectar by Dye O Supplied under license from Epidemic SoundSpecial Guest: Bradley Klein.

"Living in Scotland and spending time in the Scottish Highlands, it is clear to me how integral water and waterways are to the landscape and existence. I sense that humanity has all but forgotten this. There seems to be a belief that we can treat these precious ecosystems in any way we see fit without a care that we may be harming or killing them. When I first heard the recording of the Lech River I was instantly drawn to the serenity of the river and the peaceful lapping of the water. The sounds truly emphasised the beauty and importance of this cherished environment. "This recording focusses on the final part of the Lech River before it flows into the Danube. The written description noted this section as the Lech's ‘quiet goodbye' and I felt this was a perfect focus for my composition. It made me consider if the river were to actually say goodbye and disappear forever due to human interference. What if the water were to flow from the Lech River into the Danube until every last drop had gone, never to return, leaving an arid, lifeless riverbed. I wanted ‘The Quiet Goodbye' to focus on this idea with a narrative of loss; a lament for a river that once was, a love song of sorts, a song of yearning for the departed."The satellite imagery shows the obvious changes in the water channel over time. It reminded me of the way human vessels bifurcate and degenerate, often becoming stenosed or occluded due to poor lifestyle choices. It struck me that the Lech River and surrounding landscape also suffered from these poor human choices and wanted this element to be part of the lyric."The song starts with voices moving over and through one another to convey the flowing sense of the river and lapping riverbank. This is followed by the piano which again, tries to convey the feel of water. The field recording is heard throughout acting as a reminder that the song is a constant longing for the river."Section of the river Lech reimagined by Simon Holmes and the Portobello Drone Choir. -------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound. The project is a collaboration between the University of Padova and the University of Würzburg, with support from Cities and Memory. Explore the full project at https://citiesandmemory.com/flow.

Today host Aaron Millar is sharing a bucket list bit of madness — literal adventure insanity he got up to about 15 years ago in the Scottish Highlands. It's called the Glen Nevis River Race, and it involves hurling yourself down two miles of white-water rapids with nothing but a novelty inflatable for company.Picture part extreme white-water adventure, part Monty Python's Navy — competitors arrive bearing giant inflatable swans, killer whales, dinosaurs and, for one unfortunate soon-to-be husband, a blow-up doll. It's one of those rare, acutely British moments when only the preposterousness of your situation matches the bravado required to see it through. And Aaron has never, ever laughed so hard in his life.Highlights include:Hearing what it feels like to stand on the edge of a thundering 40ft waterfall, inflatable lilo in hand, with a crowd screaming at you to jump.Discovering what it feels like to be swept into a churning cauldron of white-water with nothing but an inflatable air mattress to keep you afloat.Finding out about the world's most wonderfully ridiculous outdoor adventures — including World Bog Snorkelling, Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling, and the Frozen Dead Guy Days festival.FIND OUT MOREThe Glen Nevis River Race is an annual summer event held in Glen Nevis, Scotland, raising money for the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team. It's free to enter but contestants must raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.

Good evening. Welcome back to Dial P for Podcast, Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Every month Patrick will be watching four Hitchcock features and talking about them here, from The Pleasure Garden to Family Plot, all across the year of 2026, examining the life and work of England's most famous cinema pervert.For episode 4 we find Alfred Hitchcock a newly christened international film star, taking the magic formula he discovered in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) in four very different configurations, with four very different results, as we discuss the ground crumbling from under him at Gaumont Studios. Also: his top three favorite methods of being a hideous creep at parties!Spies and bystanders, codes and MacGuffins, the Scottish Highlands to the Swiss Alps to Picadilly Circus, this episode finds Hitch sharpening the Hitchcockian thriller to a fine point, as well as discarding some truly useless pencil shavings!0:00 - 0:35 - Intro Music0:36 - 1:35:56 - The 39 Steps (1935)1:35:57 - 2:06:51 - Secret Agent (1936)2:06:52 - 2:58:11 - Sabotage (1936)2:58:12 - 3:22:34 - Young & Innocent (1937)3:22:35 - 3:23:46 - Outro Music

Shruti and Neha discuss Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy, a story of a young woman trying to reintroduce wolves into the wild in the Scottish Highlands, only to find a darker side of the town that has troubling echoes with her own past.

This week, I'm talking with HeatherAsh Amara, author, teacher, and someone who's been doing this work for over three decades. We talked about how the spiritual landscape has shifted from guru culture to something more community-led, what unconditional leadership is, and how discernment is just judgment with less drama attached.We also got into firewalking, what happens in your body when you walk across hot coals, and why a bad book review might actually be good news. Plus social media, abundance, AI, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is just start.A wee note: I recorded this at the end of 2026. I've been tardy in getting this conversation posted

If the weather is good and you're heading out for a long walk or a tramp, then Dutch director Bart Schrijver's film The North could be for you. It was inspired by tramping the Te Araroa trail and is described by The Guardian as "possibly the ultimate hiking film", following two friends who walk 600 kilometres through the Scottish Highlands. It's their reunion after a decade apart and with each step they reveal a little more about each other. Known for his immersive style of film making, Schrijver talks to Susie about how his time in New Zealand formed the basis for another passion project and what it taught him about himself.

This is a short, daily podcast for intermediate to advanced English learners who want to build natural English vocabulary through stories and real-life usage.In this episode of The English Like a Native Podcast, Anna continues Week 9, Day 4 of Gabriel's journey through the Scottish Highlands as he decides to head towards Ben Nevis in the hope of witnessing something extraordinary. You'll learn five powerful adjectives for describing experiences that feel beyond ordinary.

For this episode, I'm bringing our global audience to the place I call home - the Scottish Highlands. In this historical landscape, where midgies reign and deer stand majestically atop purple-washed hillsides, simple shelters stand that welcome weary travellers to rest, dry off and, most importantly, connect with each other. Known as ‘bothies', these shelters may lack modern conveniences, but they offer a chance to escape, breathe and be at one with nature. Today's guest Kat Hill is a researcher and author who explores landscape, people, and heritage. After reading her book, Bothy: in Search of Simple Shelter, I wanted to explore what these shelters mean to the subculture of people who are dedicated to their preservation and exploration, their history, benefits and current surge in popularity.

In 2015, the media became obsessed with one man's attempts to grow tea in the Scottish Highlands.  The BBC profiled him on the One Show. Radio reporters flocked to interview him. Even the Chinese national news agency reported his work.  Tam O'Braan (as he was then known) was the first to ever sell Scottish tea, and the press went wild.  Fornum and Mason bought his leaves. The Dorchester created a new Scottish tea-tasting menu. Barack Obama reportedly tried his tea, and the Queen loved it. Tam's business started bringing in hundreds of thousands of pounds. But soon his lies began to unravel. Today, with Jaega Wise, we tell the story of the Scottish tea scandal. We explain how Tam O'Brann fooled the world and the psychology behind why so many customers believed him. --- Listen to the BBC Food Program's show on the scandal: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002mn01 Learn more about Jaega: https://www.jaegawise.com/  Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Join 10,828 readers of my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew/  --- Today's sources:  Koschate-Fischer, N., Diamantopoulos, A., & Oldenkotte, K.

It's an episode full of magic, mystery and way more Sex and the City references than we expected to make.

Summary While the Great Hunger in Ireland remains one of the most documented tragedies of the nineteenth century, the story of what happened across the Irish Sea in the Scottish Highlands is often overlooked or romanticised. In this episode, we strip away the Hollywood imagery of baronial halls and tartan myths to look at the real experience of the Highland Potato Famine of 1846. We explore the “Geographic Trap” of the Highland Boundary Fault, the Coastal Squeeze of the Clearances, and the legal engineering of the 1845 Poor Law that left the starving with no right to relief. Using the latest research from Sir Tom Devine and Michael Lynch, we investigate the Empathy Gap between the absentee Landlords and the crofters clinging to the soil in the Western Isles. As the “Year of Railway Mania” gripped the England and the Lowlands of Scotland, a biological rot was creeping north. This is a story of how a system that prioritised economic efficiency over human survival turned a bad harvest into a national catastrophe.
