Tails of Scotland: the Story of Scotland’s Dogs

Crofter, writer and presenter Peter MacQueen brings us a heartwarming account of Scotland’s native dog breeds and tells of their place in our cultural and working landscapes. Also known as The Highland Hutter, Peter’s book and his BBC Alba series Cù Leis Thu (A Puppy for Pàdruig) are a celebration of our four-legged friends and are highlighted with his own dogs Sùla, Peigi and Flòraidh. Peter is in conversation with Aaron Baker-Jefferies, Community Engagement Coordinator of Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home.
