This story was recorded LIVE at the Tremula Festival in Brighton on 21 September 2024.

Local communities should be at the heart of sustainable and slow tourism in Scotland.

'A Slow and Winding Journey' is a story about discovering the wild landscapes of the Isle of Harris - without losing sight of its community of people who take care of North Harris, its mountains, beaches and coastlines.

We'll go for a hike to spot eagles on the North Harris Estate, join local guide and former ranger Daryll Brown for a snorkel session at Huisinis beach and learn about community ownership & stewardship in this part of the Outer Hebrides.

At the end of the episode, I share my top tips for a slow adventure in the Isle of Harris.
