Ray Mears on location in Galloway, Scotland

The fourth episode of Ray’s latest series hits our screens next week, with Ray travelling to Galloway in southwestern Scotland. To see it first, tune in at 7:30 PM on Tuesday 11th November, on ITV1. For viewers in Wales, the episode will be first shown at 1:00 PM on Sunday 16th November.

In episode four, Ray explores the riches of the stunning Scottish coastline in Galloway, and goes in search of the hidden treasures that live in Britain’s largest forest park, including the rare and elusive pine marten. Having tracked a pair of the mustelids through the park land, Ray is wowed by their presence when he meets them close up:

“That has got to be one of the neatest things I have ever seen in my travels. Pine martens are very special; they are so difficult to see, and to see those young like that – what a privilege. Quite wonderful.”

If you missed episode three, in which Ray explored the rugged landscape of Snowdonia, you can catch up on the ITV Player here.
