Half Pint Q&A: Where Do the Highlands Begin?

The listener Q&A edition of This is Scotland returns as Ally Heather and Coinneach MacLeod, the Hebridean Baker, tackle one of Scotland's biggest debates: where do the Highlands actually begin?

This week, they reveal the places in Scotland that inspire them most, uncover the surprising history behind Scotland's native dog breeds, and share their favourite islands to explore without a car.

Along the way, they tell the brutal tale of the king who threw a poet off a bridge, discuss how climate change could reshape Scotland's future, and ask what really makes somewhere part of the Highlands.

Expect fascinating history, practical travel tips and plenty of laughs inspired by your questions.

Whether you live in Scotland, have Scottish roots, or simply love the country, This Is Scotland is your place to feel connected to the real Scotland.
