For the very best in traditional music, join Gary Innes for Take the Floor. We have a brilliant session in store for you from James Coutts and his Scottish Dance Band. We then bring you a fantastic special feature, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Dougie Maclean's musical career. We hear from Dougie about how he began his musical career, and some of his favourite memories over the past 50 years, from the early days of writing Caledonia, to performing at the Commonwealth Games to a televised audience of millions. Gary catches up with Dougie in his home in Perthshire to reflect on the past five decades and ask him what he still has left on his bucket list.
