The beautiful Borders of Scotland is the location for Clare's walk this week. She's exploring the area around Innerleithen with Stewart Wilson. After a career in finance Stewart made a handbrake turn in his early 40s and became a tour guide and travel blogger. He says most visitors to Scotland bypass the Borders for Edinburgh or the Highlands and Islands but – in doing so – are missing out on gorgeous scenery and fascinating history. So today Stewart wants to share what it is about the Borders, and Innerleithen in particular, that should make people want to stop and explore. He grew up there in a family who, for generations, had worked in the textile industry. It's a sector that has all but disappeared, apart from a few high-end makers, so the area has to try and develop a new identity. History, mountain biking, and of course hiking are all a draw, including the challenging long distance Southern Upland Way which passes nearby.Stewart begins today's walk at Innerleithen Parish Church on Leithen Road. From there he then leads Clare over Leithen Water at Cuddy Bridge and, after a couple of stiff climbs through a forestry plantation with trees creaking in the wind, arrives at the disused relic of Kirnie Law reservoir. It's a great view point, which thanks to the rainy, sunny, sleety weather, created a full rainbow over the heathery hills beyond. It's a circular route that takes them back down to Innerleithen, just over five miles in total.Producer: Karen Gregor Presenter: Clare Balding
At the end of the show a question by Michael Heffernan Recommendations: Joyce McMillan Pitlochry Festival Theatre Set to fantastic songs from world-renowned Scottish band The Proclaimers, Sunshine on Leith is both a funny and moving play about Davy and Ally, two Edinburgh natives returning to their hometown after serving in war-torn countries overseas, who are questioning what ‘home' really means. A fantastic feel-good story from Stephen Greenhorn, with a feature film adaptation in 2013, this is returning to Pitlochry Festival Theatre for 2023 as a fresh new production of an audience favourite which is sure to delight yet again. https://pitlochryfestivaltheatre.com/whats-on/sunshine-on-leith-2023/ Eamonn Tweed Valley Blogger Let's rewind a wee bit, I'm Stewart Wilson.

The need to level up the UK has long been recognised - and COVID-19 has only intensified this challenge. It's no longer enough to drive growth in the left-behind regions; right now, it's about tackling deep-rooted inequalities in every part of the UK - even in some of its wealthiest areas. In this episode, host Rowena Morris is joined by Zoe Watters, a corporate finance partner in our Real Assets practice, and Stewart Wilson, our Local Public Services lead partner, to discuss how we can navigate ever-changing restrictions while setting the foundations for a fair, inclusive and sustainable economic recovery.

Hello amigos This week , we have a producer / DJ from UK Stewart Wilson ( Monza Ibiza Records | Shake| TRES14 MUSIC | Monique Musique | Slur Records ) You Can follow the show: * Sunday at 21.00 on Radio Vibrationn Bruxelles 107.2 FM - Mons 91.0 FM * http://www.vibration.fm/player/ Monday at 08.00 on HouseOfHouse * http://houseofhouse.be/ * Tuesday at 21.00 on XBeat * http://www.xbeat.org * Wednesday at 22.00 on HouseOfHouse * http://houseofhouse.be/ * BIOGRAPHY Scottish Born underground DJ Stewart Wilson has crafted his passion from the young age of 12. At 10, his eldest sister came home with rave tapes from her friends at school that set the wheels in motion for Wilsonís love for dance music and desire to be behind the decks. After listening to these rave tapes constantly for 2 years, he then went on to purchasing his first set of turntables at the tender age of 12. A short time after, when Wilson was only 14 he began performing at events up and down the Scottish coast and borders with hard dance and tribal music as his genre of choice at the time. He then turned his craft to Deep House music, after an introduction from his Uncle’s vast mixtape collection and after two years in events at the age of 16 he began to gain more sets and residencies in clubs warming up for guest DJs from the worldwide headliners to the new evolving talents who are now household names. With a sheer passion of 4/4 beat dance music, there was no doubt at the rate of success Wilson was having that he wouldn’t turn his hand to production. Building from his 4/4 beat passion, his production delves into two contrasting styles that stem from his younger years. With a funky twist to the groovy tribal sound from his youth, Wilson hones into the underground with a new edge that has earnt the support from various DJs and brands globally including; Joseph Capriati, Fatboy Slim, Sossa, Eddy Romero, Mr. G, DJ Mag, IDJ Magazine, Kiss FM and more. Already signed to Europe’s Monza Ibiza Records, Tokyo Red, Ametist Records and Detroit based Slur Records. Stewart Wilson’s sheer passion and determination is what sets him apart from the current boom of DJs globally. Keep a close eye and ear out for this one. TRACKLIST 01.
