The first grouse collected from estates this morning heading there way to the factory for processing. A massive thanks to the keepers, beaters, pickers up and estate staff that make the excitement of the 12th what it is.

Glorious 12th 🪶
Today marks the start of the grouse season – a celebration of tradition, hard work, and the incredible dedication of gamekeepers.

Behind the scenes, months of early mornings, late nights, and year-round care go into preparing the moors. These landscapes aren’t just for shooting – they’re thriving habitats where conservation is at the heart of the work.

Gamekeepers play a vital role in managing the land, controlling predators, and preserving fragile ecosystems. Thanks to their efforts, many red-listed species – from curlew to lapwing – find safe nesting and feeding grounds here.

The Glorious 12th is more than a date on the calendar. It’s a testament to the balance between field sport and wildlife conservation, keeping our uplands alive for generations to come.
