Old Photograph Grouse Shooting Highland Perthshire Scotland
Old photograph of grouse shooting in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. The name driven grouse shooting refers to the way in which the grouse are driven towards the hunters, otherwise known as Guns by beaters. A shooting party usually includes 8 to 10 Guns who stand in a line in the butts hides for shooting spaced some 20 to 30 metres apart, often screened by a turf or stone wall and usually sunken into the ground to minimise their profile to shoot the grouse in flight. There is a strict code of conduct governing behaviour on the grouse moor for both safety and etiquette. Grouse shooting can also be undertaken by walking up grouse over pointers, or by flushing the birds with other dogs.
