A fascinating and informative look at the story of the gun in Scottish society and its role in contemporary life.
Tha an Gunna air a bhith dha-r矛ribh riatanach dha sg矛rean d霉thchail na h-Alba fad ghinealaichean. Chun an l脿 'n-diugh tha na th' air a chosnadh bhon dualchas eachdraidheil is cultarach co-cheangailte ri sealg agus losgadh airson sp貌rs, f矛or chudromach dhan d霉thaich, gu s貌nraichte tro mh矛osan thrang an Fhoghair agus a' Gheamhraidh. Tha tachartasan neo-thraidiseanta r脿itheil
leithid losgadh clay-pigeon cuideachd a' s矛or fh脿s.
Coinnichidh sinn riuthasan a tha a' sealg airson sp貌rs, cluinnidh sinn mu obair a' phoileis ann a bhith a' cumail rian air ceadan armachd losgaidh aig 矛re ionadail, agus ch矛 sinn gu bheil ealain dealbhachadh ghunnaichean fhathast gu m貌r na ph脿irt luachmh貌r dha beatha dh霉thchail na h-Alba.
Tha deasbad mu reachdas nan gunnaichean ann an Alba a' leantainn ge-t脿, as d猫idh diofar thachartasan uabhasach, leithid D霉n Bhl脿thain agus bho chionn ghoirid na thachair ann an Cumbria an-uiridh.
The gun has played a major role in rural Scottish life for generations. To this day, the history and cultural heritage of hunting and shooting for sport, generates a vital income, especially during the busy autumn/winter season. Non-traditional seasonal activities such as clay pigeon shooting are also on the increase.
We meet those who shoot for sport, find out about how the police implement and control the issuing of firearm certificates at a local level, and discover that the art of gunmaking is still very much a lucrative part of rural Scottish life today as we meet some of these craftsmen at work.
Debate continues to surround gun legislation in Scotland though, following the horrors of Dunblane and more recent atrocities including Cumbria in 2010.
