Don't quote me but it could be Applecross estate.... when the add was first published it had the name of the agent for that estate (or was at that estate) to send correspondence to.. then the add was re-published with a different correspondence address.(always research as much as possible before applying for jobs)..

To be honest am not really looking, job I have is descent, not stalking related at current place, I do miss it however it would need to be a descent set up to go back to it, still working in conservation sector, you are correct with doing plenty research on job adverts there’s usually a story behind most in the private sector if it isn’t a case of retirement of previous fella.
