Open Country: Winter Wonder in East Lothian

Series 1024, episode 14

Helen Mark is in East Lothian in Scotland to revel in the beauty of the winter landscape. On the outskirts of Haddington, wildlife artist Darren Woodhead is ensconced in a hedgerow at dawn. Winter is his favourite time of year to paint as all his painting is done outside sitting on the ground. He relishes how the elements alter the way water-colours behave on the paper, creating patterns as the paint starts to freeze. Further east to the coast, Helen walks down onto one of the Dunbar beaches known locally as Eye Cave Beach. Land artist, James Craig, is engaged in the meditative art of stone stacking, at one with his surroundings, racing the rising tide. On her final stop, Helen travels north-west to the sweeping sands of Gullane beach
