Full head Sporrans

[gerarddwatts]

Sad but true!
I have a badger sporran I made about 1991 from a badger I picked up off the A41 on nights, and an otter one made about 2005 by Janet Eagleton, Murthly, from an otter I sadly hit on the A93.

Licenses in the post.

I'll put some photys on later

The mark on the head is presumably where he met the car. One of two otter sporrans I made a few years back, this one with a press stud opening and the other a magnetic popper.

Need to be carefull.....you now..courtesy of our befuddled Scottish leaders...need a license to have an animal head sporran up here, and they would not give a license for an otter or a wildcat

I believe this to be incorrect. Its only animals contained within Annex IV(a) of the Habitats Directive that need a license. Otter and Wildcat ARE on the list.

You are quite right.
Otter and wildcat are on the list of animals requiring a license.
However, as I understood it, the authority issuing such licenses would not issue them for otters and wildcats.
Much the same as them not giving licenses to shoot buzzards, despite there being provision for such in the relevant law.
Whatever. As long as it keeps a scottish government employee busy doing important stuff.
