Nice job, wouldn't like to comment on the top man though. As a jock once said "pure belter like"......

He has a nice patch up near Durness, stalked on neighbouring ground a few years back and we stopped for lunch overlooking it.
 
Nice area to live in I dont know the Deer manager very well but the keeper is a good guy and the locals don't bite, with a 338 LM you could probably shoot the windows out of Finbears house from work.
