The Scottish Countryman
I’m passionate about Scotland’s wildlife and countryside so I reconnect people with the outdoors. I do this through birds of prey and archery experiences, fly-fishing lessons, falconry workshops and countryside retreats, all from our base near Crail in the beautiful East Neuk of Scotland. I’ve been a countryman all my working life. I believe everyone should know enough about nature to be able to enjoy it, appreciate it, protect it and benefit from it. Through learning about nature, we learn about ourselves; through protecting our ecosystems, we protect ourselves.
