We made the long and perilous journey to Edinburgh to interview TD "Hiram" Brown in his coin-collecting lair. The closest thing to a description of this experience would be to say it was like visiting a very friendly dragon sleeping on a pile of ancient treasure.

We spoke to David R Simmons about how we perceive colour and why it is so important to us. David is a lecturer in Psychology at Glasgow University, and helps to organise a colour studies group. The group is an interdisciplinary forum which meets up roughly four times a year for different events and talks about colour.

David travelled to Whitelee Windfarm to interview Martin Mathers from Scottish Power Renewables about the future of electricity. Whitelee is Europe's largest onshore windfarm. If you stand from pretty much any high vantage point in Glasgow city centre on a clear day and squint to the south, you should be able to see the windmills perched on the horizon. They really are magnificent. And there is a vistor centre. Perfect daytrip material!
