Le mìltean thar mhìltean de mhòinteach, beanntan is lochan, tha àrainneachd nàdarra na h-Alba a' tàladh àireamh mhòr de luchd seilge bho air feadh an t-saoghail. Tha losgadh air fèidh, agus eòin agus iasgach bhradain a' cur cha mhòr ochdad millean not dhan eaconamaidh gach bliadhna. Gu traidiseanta 's iad Geamairean na h-Alba a tha a' gabhail uallach, an dà chuid airson na hàrainneachd shònraichte seo agus gach beathach, agus an fheadhainn a tha air an tòir. Tha an àireamh de gheamairean air crìonadh gu mòr, ach leis a' mhòr chuid air am breith dhan dreuchd, tha na sgilean riatanach ràitheil a tha air a thoirt sìos bho ghinealach gu ginealach fhathast làidir.

Chì sinn na tha fa-near dhaibh tro ràithean cudromach an fhèidh, a' bhradain, agus nan eun
sìthne, agus gheibh sinn sealladh sònraichte nan geamairean air an dreuchd agus air an dòigh-beatha.

With mile upon mile of moorland, hills and lochs, Scotland's natural habitat and wildlife attracts large numbers of hunters from all over the world in pursuit of deer, game birds and the salmon, contributing almost £80 million annually to the economy. Traditionally, it is the Gamekeepers role to maintain those unique environments and also to act as guardians for guests wishing to shoot or fish.

The number of full-time gamekeepers is in decline but the seasonal skills handed down through the generations remain strong. 

We follow three gamekeepers through the key seasons of the deer, the salmon and the game bird.
