It's not set in stone, but I reckon Dr Eileen Tisdall is the most enthusiastic scientist you're ever going to meet. She's been mad about rocks from an early age, and now preaches the importance of geology - how it shapes our lives as well as the landscape around us. In this episode she tells me

• How the glaciers helped build the second Forth road bridge
• What a real rock festival is about
• How Scotland could get a whole lot colder thanks to global warming
• Why geology is the perfect career for a woman
• How we need to look after our rocks better

On the way we have a few laughs and learn exactly why there's a magnificent piece of geology behind a row of council houses in Callander.
