You've woken up in a Scottish castle early enough to see the sunrise. It's going to be a crisp, clear morning. As the steam rises from your gently cooling tea, you watch a pheasant gathering his breakfast and a wood pigeon sings in the day.
BBC Countryfile Magazine's Plodcast Sound Escapes are a weekly audio postcard from the countryside to help you relax and transport you somewhere beautiful, wherever you happen to be.
Recorded and introduced by Hannah Tribe.
