Moira Hickey looks at the work of the gamekeepers on a Highland sporting estate.

Moira Hickey looks at the work of the gamekeepers at Dunmaglass Estate near Inverness, which offers deer stalking, grouse shooting and pheasant shooting to its visitors.

Moira Hickey visits Dunmaglass Estate in the Scottish Highlands, where headkeeper Iain Hepburn and underkeeper Andrew Reid work to ensure a successful shooting season for grouse, pheasant and red deer. While the Scottish sporting estate might be seen to be the preserve of a tiny and very wealthy minority, the keepers make the case for its wider importance, believing that estates such as Dunmaglass bring much-needed income to the area, preserve the countryside and help to conserve wildlife.
