The Scottish Gamekeepers Association
Welcome

For generations Scotland’s gamekeepers, stalkers and ghillies have been the country’s best-kept secret. Living in wild, remote places, our knowledge and experience of wildlife management on the moors and in the hills, woods and rivers is second to none.
The Scottish Gamekeepers’ Association, a tightly run operation run largely by volunteers, represents its members in the Scottish Parliament and supports extensive programmes of training and education.
We are a distinctive and proud cultural group. Dedicated, passionate and independent of mind, our band of men and women represent the spirit of Scotland’s countryside.
Welcome to our story.
