Welcome to the Website of the Scottish Gamekeepers Association 

 

 
The SGA is a non-profit making association of Scottish gamekeepers that is run by the gamekeepers themselves. Its mission is to unite all Scottish Gamekeepers, Stalkers and Ghillies in a strong representative organisation and to promote their professional role in the management of the Scottish environment by publicising their high standards of conduct and highlighting the contribution country sports make to the Scottish rural economy.
 

The aims of this organisation are to:

  • Promote the work keepers do for the good of the countryside and its management
     
  • Educate gamekeepers in aspects of the law and good practice on wildlife matters.
     
  • To promote the welfare of gamekeepers when issues concerning their jobs come under attack from pressure groups and government policies.
     
  • To liase with the police and brother shooting organisations where appropriate and to point out the implications should shooting ever be restricted in Scotland.
The SGA was formed in 1997 to protect and promote gamekeeping after the profession suffered months of adverse and damaging publicity in the media.
