Sam MatterfaceHOST
46% since 2019 on kids' sport.
Sam MatterfaceHOST
Is that where we're heading? Does anyone really want that to be the case? And here's a question for you, right? Should you be able to pay to play for your football club? Isn't it something that you have to be at the elite level to be able to do? Doesn't by running loads of caps, and I'm not trying to kill kids' dreams because I love the idea that kids have this desire to play for their football club and get the opportunity, but they have to earn the opportunity because it's elite sport, right? So does the badge get devalued if everyone's just paying for loads of satellite academies all over the country? Chelsea have got one in Perthshire in Scotland.
Alex CrookHOST
They have one, didn't they, down in Hampshire? That's how Mason Mount, boyhood Pompey fan, came to end up at Chelsea.
Alex CrookHOST
It does work sometimes.
Lynne NiemanHOST
It doesn't have all the shops and everything, but it's a quieter place to be able to just maybe go out and take some walks.
Lynne NiemanHOST
Just generally that area and those between those two towns, just these beautiful, I love Perthshire.
Lynne NiemanHOST
That's kind of the region.
Lynne NiemanHOST
Beautiful landscapes.
Suzy AspleyGUEST
She controlled storms and the weather and everything else.
Suzy AspleyGUEST
But in Perthshire, in the centre of Perthshire... near Aberfeldy, there is a glen called Glen Lyon, and it's the longest enclosed glen in Scotland.
Suzy AspleyGUEST
And you can't actually walk up there, but it's remote.
Suzy AspleyGUEST
You would need to kind of, you know, be prepared if you were going up there.
Jo TinsleyHOST
And so they were put in to help them.
Jo TinsleyHOST
But I've been to the one at Pitlochry Dam in Perthshire.
Jo TinsleyHOST
That's probably the most famous fish ladder.
Jo TinsleyHOST
So it's 310 metres long with 34 tiered pools.
Rachel TenneyHOST
And even more crazy, there are a few that claim that these yew trees are over 2,000 years old and are in fact remnants of these pagan yew groves that these churches were built on.
Rachel TenneyHOST
In fact, when I looked up where is the oldest yew tree in the UK, its name is the Fordingall Yew and it's located in a churchyard like we just talked about in the village of Fordingall in Perthshire, Scotland.
Rachel TenneyHOST
It is estimated to be between 2,000 and 3,000 years old.
Rachel TenneyHOST
So amazing.
Keith HarrisGUEST
We made it plain.
Keith HarrisGUEST
I attended a lunch at David Murray's house in Perthshire.
Keith HarrisGUEST
Celtic board, the Rangers board there.
Richard KeysHOST
In the same
Jane CoxGUEST
So my husband put some of these plants online and I had a kitchen table which had up to 200 orders all over the kitchen table that I was putting into postcodes.
Jane CoxGUEST
And then I would drive in the van with everybody's order all the way across Perthshire and Angus.
Jane CoxGUEST
And it was absolutely exhausting.
Jane CoxGUEST
And we only could, we would open the website for an hour before we have to close it because we couldn't manage any more orders.
CelineHOST
good after all.
CelineHOST
There was a sheep that Dad keepered in Perthshire in the 70s and 80s and it had a drive called the Lavatory Wood, inevitably renamed the Shithouse.
CelineHOST
God, I should imagine that.
CelineHOST
Who would want to go to lavatory wood? Yeah, that's a bit...
Gareth HowellsGUEST
But when you look at Aberfeldy in its own right, it was really built with a singular purpose, and that was to make the, well, what would be considered the gold standard of a Highland single malt Scotch whiskey.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
Now, there was a purpose behind it, which is to be able to create a type and style of whiskey that would be perfectly suitable or, in fact, ideal to go back to the blending tanks in Perthshire to continue creating the Dewar's blends.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
But in its own right, it's a spectacular blend.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
Single malt whiskey.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
And really, when it was built, there was no expense spared from Charles Doig, the foremost distillery architect, not only of his time, but historically as well, being brought from Speyside into the Highlands to come and design the distillery.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
And when we talk about the Highlands, Aberfildie is a Highlands single malt scotch.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
It's located in just northwest of Perthshire.
Gareth HowellsGUEST
Perthshire is a region of Scotland within the Highlands that's renowned as being the gateway to the Highlands.
Gary WestHOST
[bagpipe music] [audience cheering] [audience applauding] Isn't that amazing? It's Callum Armstrong playing live at the Pipers Gathering in New England in 2015 on just one instrument.
Gary WestHOST
The piece was called Butterflies, and he'll be just one of many, uh, performing and teaching at the Lowland and Border Piper Society Cùl Odh in Burnammon and Keldon, Perthshire on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of November.
Gary WestHOST
Well, from bellows pipes now to drumming.
Gary WestHOST
A big, huge event took place last weekend, which is the World Solo Drumming Championship.
