Welcome to our story...

We're the voice of Scotland's working wildlife managers, the practical conservationists who manage nature in the raw. Our members protect the health of Scotland's great salmon rivers, stalk iconic red deer and keep foxes and other predators in balance for the benefit of all wildlife.

Our member-run organisation raises awareness of the environmental, social and cultural benefits which gamekeepers bring to some of Scotland's most remote communities and represents their interests at local, national and international levels.

    I am not a happy chappy. I was cutting old rabbit fences away this morning and my ear is bleeding profusely. I detest that high tensile wire; when you cut it with the wire cutters it goes off like a coiled spring. It felt like I had been shot in the ear.

Quick fact

There are about 3000 full-time gamekeepers in Britain and they manage two million hectares of land - an area roughly the size of Wales.
