BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Picnic in the Cairngorms

Join the workers on a Highland shooting estate for their end of season party.

After a long season out on the mountains, the workers on a Highland shooting estate relax with a picnic in the last of the Cairngorms sun.

After a long season out on the moors the workers on a Highland shooting estate relax with a picnic in the last of the Cairngorms sun. Like much of the surrounding land the Gaick Estate makes its living from hunting, shooting and fishing. On the final day of the brown trout season the gamekeepers take their ponies up to a local loch to catch their lunch and barbecue it for the rest of the estate staff.

Producer: Moira Hickey.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
