Landward

Landward

"Landward" is a long-running television programme focusing on agricultural and rural issues, produced and broadcast by BBC Scotland. Until 2007, it aired on Sunday mornings in Scotland, replacing the similar show "Countryfile" which aired elsewhere in the UK; however in 2007 "Landward" moved to a regular Friday evening slot, and now replaces "Countryfile" only when it cannot be shown in its usual slot (e.g. because of sports coverage).

The current presenter is Nick Nairn, and the reporters are Euan McIlwraith, Sarah Mack and Ken Rundle.
