Ed Douglas

This view from the hills comes from someone who clearly has long been aware of the importance of mountains and not just because he climbs them.

He's the writer, Ed Douglas, and he joins me on Love Scotland.

Nice to see you, Ed.

Very nice to see you.

Since 1931, the National Trust for Scotland, a charity supported by you, has been looking after Scotland's treasured places so we can all share in them.

Welcome back to Love Scotland.

My guest today is Ed Douglas, who's written a book called Upland.

The mountains, Ed thinks of beauty, but also natural fortresses.

Yeah.

And then I kind of wrote an initial outline and got some funding and optioned Ed Douglas's biography.

And then I realized I was going to need some help.

And I thought, who better to do this than Luke, who has only recently, you know, won the BAFTA and Academy Award nominated for Lion, which was really, you know, the perfect kind of fit, I thought, in many ways.

sure.

Ed Douglas says, I guess I haven't watched the show on YouTube that much.

What's the deal with all the balloons and Brett's background? It was my kid's birthday party that week.

So there was a lot of balloons in here.
