本期内容:

When Scott Wood realised the ethical minefield vegans face wearing Scotland's national dress, he decided to create an alternative.
A kiltmaker for more than 10 years, he switched to vegan-friendly kilts after adopting veganism three years ago.
The made-to-order garment avoids animal-based products such as wool and leather, making it suitable for vegans.
