Adam Raja is a mountain man, but if you looked at his photography and social media platforms, you'd never think that it took most of his life to develop that passion for the outdoors. It came as no surprise to me though, that the hills of Glencoe played an important role on this journey.

If you're not familiar with Glencoe and why it's such a special place in the Scottish Highlands, listen to my story Where it all began.

'Where it all began' is a story about a walk through one of the most beautiful places in the Scottish Highlands. I'm taking you with me as I hike the Two Lairigs route from Glen Coe to Glen Etive and back. Along the way, I tell you about my personal relationship with this glen, the exact moment I fell in love with Scotland and I reflect on some of the conflicting feelings that always cross my mind when I find myself in the Highlands.

'6,000 times around the sun' is a story about Scotland's ancient history and how we connect with it. Kilmartin Glen is an excellent place for this journey as there are hundreds of historic sites to discover. We explore structures and monuments that were built soon after the last Ice Age and rock art that was created thousands of years ago.

'Of Stacks and Stones' is a story about an island that looks remote on the map, but it actually a bustling hub on the Scottish west coast - for people and animals alike. But it's also a story about the natural beauty of the Isle of Canna. We make our way to the top of a magnetic hill, across the bridge to Canna's tidal neighbour Sanday and towards the cliffs and sea stacks that are home to a colony of Atlantic puffins. Along the way, we hear about Canna's past, present and future.
