Scottish Field podcast episode 12
Manage episode 294532977 series 2910860
This week, we're joined by Scottish Field's Morag Bootland to chat about our July issue, which is out this week.
We discuss Olive, Mabel and Me, our lead feature this month, which highlights the book looking at the pet dogs of TV sports commentator Andrew Cotter.
We also enjoy some of the fantastic food on offer in Edinburgh as brunch has become the new thing post-lockdown, and as well as learning about Scotland's ice age survivor, the Ferox Trout.
Our second guest Peter Wohlleben joins us from his home in Germany as the bestselling author of The Hidden Life of Trees, has written a new book, Heartbeat of Trees.
Drawing on new scientific discoveries, The Heartbeat of Trees reveals the profound interactions humans can have with nature, exploring the language of the forest, the consciousness of plants, and the eroding boundary between flora and fauna.
Peter's book is receiving a virtual launch in association with the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh and Portobello Bookshop. This is the UK launch event and will take place on Thursday 10 June at 7pm when he will be in conversation with David Knott and Vicky Allan.
