Scottish bathing waters

Scotland currently has 90 designated bathing waters across the country. In this podcast we are joined by Ruth Stidson, National science lead for bathing water quality in Scotland, and Jackie McColm, Senior Environmental Protection Officer for SEPA.  Bathing waters are an essential resource to all who use them, bringing multiple benefits to surrounding areas. In this podcast we discuss what bathing waters offer Scotland, looking into the detail of how they are monitored and protected.  Working together we can continue to improve and manage these areas to the benefits for all who use them.
