The Gift of Grouse Initiative
The motion
That the Parliament notes a new report by Scotland’s Rural College and the University of the Highlands and Islands’ Centre for Mountain Studies at Perth College, which examines the importance of grouse shooting and moorland management in supporting fragile rural communities; believes that there is a substantial number of people, families and businesses in the Angus Glens and in the Monadhliaths who express support for the socio-economic benefits of grouse shooting and moorland management in their local area; congratulates the Angus Glens Moorland Group on its film, The Untold Story, which gives its perspective on what grouse management provides to its communities, and welcomes the Gift of Grouse initiative, which aims to demonstrate the positive tourism, employment, accessibility and conservation impacts that moorland management has across rural Scotland.
