Matt and Gianluca talk about the incredible Highland Boundary Fault Line with a social media sensation and bonafide rock star - the Scottish geologist, Luisa Hendry! They also talk (related) squirrel trivia over an al fresco coffee at the Pier cafe and restaurant, which is wonderfully sandwiched in between Loch Katrine and the sometimes evasive Loch Arklet, just east of Loch Lomond. Follow Luisa on social media for amazing content (eg. her Instagram @scottishgeologist and her tiktok @scottishgeologist)!

Matt and Gianluca set off for Loch Sloy reservoir on the hillsides of Loch Lomond and fail to find it. On the way to nowhere in particular, they talk about how people have lived and survived through agriculture and industry, and about times they have been ejected from quaint cafes in cosmopolitan European cities due to gastro-intestinal-related issues.
