Scottish Field

Podcast host Kenny Smith is joined by Scottish Field's chief sub-editor Rosie Morton, who talks about her recent interview with Outlander star Sam Heughan, and we hear from the man himself. Sam is the main interviewee in the May 2021 issue, which is available now in print and digital versions, and we bring you an excerpt of our exclusive chat with him, in which he talks about growing up in the south of Scotland, coming home after shooting in America, and how Outlander has changed his life.

In our third Scottish Field podcast, we bring you a look at the contents of the May edition of the magazine, which includes an exclusive interview with Outlander's Scottish star Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser in the internationally-acclaimed drama - and we feature a brief excerpt from it this week. Rosie Morton and Kenny Smith discuss their highlights of the magazine, which is now in the shops, priced £4.75.

We're also joined by architect Michael Angus, who is one of the judges on Scotland's Home of the Year, with the new series starting on BBC Scotland this week. The new 10-part series begins at 8pm tonight, Wednesday, April 7, and we spoke with Michael, who, in his day job, is a Senior Teaching Fellow in Architecture at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

The second episode of the Scottish Field podcast sees web editor and podcast host Kenny Smith joined by Peter Ranscombe. Peter, the magazine's wine expert, shares his experiences of how he became an authority in the field, as well as the drinks that he most enjoys - and if James Bond is right to judge whether someone is a gentlemen or not, depending on whether they take red wine with fish... 

Kenny also speaks with author David Bishop about his new novel, City of Vengeance, which has recently been released. David's book was completed with the assistance of the Scottish Book Trust, which saw him spending time in France to write it.

In the first episode of Scottish Field's podcast, web editor Kenny Smith and writer Stephanie Abbot look through the April  2021 edition of the magazine, picking out their highlights. Steph also shares her experiences of wild swimming, which feature in the print edition. Later, Kenny is joined by Damian Barr, the host of BBC Scotland's Shelf Isolation, to discuss the second run of the series, as well as his highlights from the first.
