Countryfile: Lanarkshire

Series 1795, episode 0

Matt Baker explores the rise and fall of what was once a major force in Scotland's food industry - the Clyde valley in Lanarkshire. Ellie Harrison meets an urban beekeeper who fills Lanarkshire's scraps of green with beehives, renting them out to local companies and training their staff in beekeeping skills. His pollination plan aims to improve the wellbeing of people as well as bees and is a hit with local businesses from hotels to construction. Ellie also takes a walk along the Falls of Clyde, which has some of the oldest woodland in Scotland. At this time of year the forest floor is a carpet of wildflowers, each one telling a story about the ecology of the landscape, but it is birds she is here to see. Sean Fletcher is just downstream at New Lanark Mill. The area wasn't just famed for fruit but also for textile production. Sean reveals how the landscape shaped the vision and powered the mills that still stand here centuries later
