Moira Hickey visits Dunmaglass Estate in the Scottish Highlands, where headkeeper Iain Hepburn and underkeeper Andrew Reid work to ensure a successful shooting season for grouse, pheasant and red deer. While the Scottish sporting estate might be seen to be the preserve of a tiny and very wealthy minority, the keepers make the case for its wider importance, believing that estates such as Dunmaglass bring much-needed income to the area, preserve the countryside and help to conserve wildlife.
