The Scotsman carries a summary of the 2011 Scottish grouse season. As stated in the article, 2011 has been a season to savour and this is good news all round.
From a Heather Trust perspective, good grouse bags can only be achieved from well-managed moorland and the income generated from the grouse justifies the continuation of this management. It may also encourage those who are not managing their moors to their potential to invest in them for the benefit of grouse and all moorland and upland plants and species.
