Claire McCollum joins Christians aboard a tour boat on Loch Ness to find out about the 6th-century legend of St Columba’s encounter with the Loch Ness monster! Also, on the 150th anniversary of the Open Championship, Claire heads to St Andrews for a round of golf with historian Roger McStravick. Claire hears about famous golf-course designer Tom Morris, a committed Christian who designed elements of St Andrews Old Course using Biblical references such as Hell’s Bunker and the Valley of Sin. And in Inverness, two priests from Nigeria tell their story of evangelisation in rural communities in Scotland by using the social media video platform TikTok to attract younger people to church.
