The Rev. Kate Bottley is in Kinross on the banks of Loch Leven, the largest loch in the Scottish Lowlands. At the RSPB reserve at dawn, she sees thousands of pink-footed geese take flight, and she hears from one of the volunteers about why the goose is a symbol of the Holy Spirit in the Celtic church. She visits the local children’s hospice, Rachel House, to see their inspirational work, and new Songs of Praise presenter Jay Lusted takes to the skies in a specially adapted glider that enables people with disabilities to experience the exhilaration of flying. There are hymns from around Scotland, and Eddie Reader sings Amazing Grace in the stunning Dunnottar Castle in Aberdeenshire.
