Secret Scotland C5 — Counting sheep: Julie and her border collie

This is followed by fly-fishing in the River Tweed, where the Strictly Come Dancing star angles for compliments.

Later, Susan tackles Rugby Sevens in Melrose, sheepishly helps a border collie with herding his flock, and visits Sir Walter Scott’s impressive gaff before revealing the resting place of Robert the Bruce’s heart. Yes, his actual heart.
