Conservation in Cumbernauld, the Falls of Clyde and folk tales from Largiebann

In our sixth episode, we explore wellbeing and nature. We start by hearing about the work of the Cumbernauld Living Landscape and how important it is to connect to nature every now and then. We then head to the Falls of Clyde for a walk up to the waterfall of Cora Linn. Finally, we hear from poet, writer and historian, Angus Martin, who recounts some of his wildlife experiences and recites some of his poetry which was inspired by the landscape of our Largiebaan wildlife reserve.
