While the Scottish government is currently consulting on plans to introduce licences for grouse moors, what are the pros and cons of this kind of field sport?
The Scottish government is currently consulting on plans to introduce licences for grouse moors, Farming today hears from people working on an estate in Perthshire, and Charlotte Smith talks to Max Wiszniewski of Revive, the coalition for grouse moor reform.
