Refer you to my post 60 and Wanlock head. That's when Derrick was keeper there before he went to Bowhill 20 or so years ago. Proves Sika were out with the Galloway Reds then.

Blimey Griff, money was good then, I remember skinning it at the Smokehouse.
Trust you and yours are ok. I'm still scrobbling about after Fallow.🤠

Derrick Goodwin went there to improve the grouse, never heard how it did. There are definitely Sika close to there, you could almost spit from Dawyck over St Mary's loch and they were as far as Phillipshaugh and Ettrick bridge 20 years ago. They went up the Manor valley and down to Innerleithen years ago.
