Wildlife persecution – legal and illegal – is widespread and ‘country sports’ play a dominant role in rural land management and politics. This guide aims to raise awareness of wildlife persecution, and to educate the public so that countryside visitors and users understand hunting and trapping activities that they may encounter, and are able to identify illegal practices. We hope that reading this will inspire you to be a conscientious traveller, whether you come from near or far, and help you to do your part to protect Scotland’s wildlife. Download
