'A Long Time Coming' takes you on a journey along the River Tay, from its source to the sea. We hop inside a canoe to follow the footsteps (or paw strokes?) of beavers who live on this river system - and learn about their troubled past.

We talk about beaver reintroduction programmes in Britain, learn interesting facts about beavers and head out to hopefully meet them on the river banks.

Visit our website to find the full show notes incl. the transcript, tips for a trip to Ardfern and Loch Craignish.

Check out my guide to where to find beavers in Scotland.
