A royal love affair

This month editor Richard Bath talks to The Princess Royal whose affection for Scotland becomes clear in this exclusive interview. From childhood holidays spent at Balmoral to sailing up Scotland's West Coast and even becoming patron of the Northern Lighthouse Board, Scotland crops up in her life over and over again. In 'Mud, sweat and tears'  we talk to Jimmy McRae, five times British Rally Champion who may have spent his career charging over treacherous terrain but who always finds his way home to Lanark. You can also find out this month how Scotland gave the world the beautiful game and take a trip down memory lane with the evocative steam locomotives of the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway which are lovingly restored and looked after by a team of volunteers.
