For Glasgow-born and bred Yong-Chin, the face is her canvas. Since winning BBC make-up competition Glow Up in 2022, she's been turning heads with her eye-catching creations. Now based on the London fashion scene, Yong-Chin returns home to revisit old haunts like Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, and as she gives her sister a radical makeover, they discuss what it was like growing up with mixed Scottish-Malaysian heritage, and embracing their Asian side later in life. Inspired by the style of 90s club kids, the Glow Up star gives a glittering public masterclass at the city's Buchanan Galleries as friends, family, fans and influencers look on.

‘Scouting for Buoys' is one family's mission to clean up their local beaches - and turn discarded plastic waste into unique pieces of art. Donna and her husband Carl scour the shores next to their Isle of Skye home, collecting washed-up plastic to take back to their artists' studio overlooking the landscapes they care so much about. Artist Donna first creates beautiful artwork by painting the plastic buoys, and giving them a new lease of life. Carl, a retired fisherman, then handmakes each buoy's new rope, and what was once waste becomes a piece of art. We meet Donna and Carl on the stunning shores around their home, and experience how a close-knit family use creativity to make their corner of the world all the more beautiful, whilst helping clean up their beaches and seas.

Having studied architecture in Edinburgh, Charles Young, aka ‘Paperholm', has a fascination with all things intricate and building-related. A love of modelmaking led to Charles beginning a project where he made a paper building every day for a year. He's now up to 1,000 individual sculptures, which form a sprawling paper metropolis that he keeps adding to. We meet Charles as he creates his latest model, taking inspiration from one of our capital city's most iconic buildings, and recreates Edinburgh's St Giles Cathedral as a 3D paper model.

Sean Wai Keung performs Tomb Sweeping Day, his moving poem about his maternal grandparents from Hong Kong who made the leap to begin a new life in Britain as Chinese takeaway owners in the 1950s.
