FAS TV S5 Episode 26
On this week's FAS TV, we visit Beth Farmer, shepherdess at Parks of Aldie near Kinross. Beth is an elite curler but has since retired to pursue her farming dream. Beth talks us through her career as an international athlete, her transition into full-time agriculture, along with the thriving community of farmers involved in curling. We join Beth as she competes in the Chuck Hay Farmers Bonspiel which brings farmers from all over Scotland together to compete once a year in Perth.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
In Natural Capital, where we are joined by environmental historian Dr Ian Maclellan to wind the clock back through Scotland’s long history of land use change: from the ice age to the Romans, clearances, industrialisation and modern pressures. Along the way, we unpack how humans have been part of the landscape – managing it for food, livelihoods and leisure, and the consequences this has had on nature and biodiversity.
