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.

Old Photograph Harbour Perth Scotland

Old photograph of the harbour in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The original harbour was further upriver, possibly at the end of High Street. Silt deposits, shifting of the river's bed and the increase in size of ships have led the harbour to be moved repeatedly downstream. In the 1840s, the tidal basin and quay that are currently in use were built on Sand Island at Friarton.
