edenman 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 A lot of the islands have a different law to the mainland of Scotland. Udals law I think it is called were the owner of the land at the high water mark actually owns the foreshore down to the low water mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancashire Hunter 22 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 It is true to a certain extent in scotland theyv got the right to recreation. But only as long as the land is not owned by a club or nature reserve. But as jangles said give basc a ring and get more info. I knew of a old mate who went to aberdeanshire and did it a few years ago. So it is possable you could get some free shooting. But give basc a call and find out more.

themightybuck 9 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I would get in touch with the farmer/ landowner even if it is free, and if it isn't then why not ask any way they might just let you, I often find a bottle of whisky opens a lot of doors!

Cheers Matthew Didn't know that , thanks Matthew. Shot my first goose there 20 years ago when I lived in Aberdeen. Was amazed at the time that it was free shooting and, whilst that felt good, I always felt it had potential to be abused. I guess a club is a good thing.

David.geddes 0 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Hi, Does anyone have update information on the ythan estuary shooting entitlement IE below high water marks I've tried emailing the local club wildfowling on the estuary unfortunately no reply , I'm now waiting for an answer from basc on the matter, David Geddes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,393 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Was having this conversation earlier today . I’m fairly sure that there is a Royal decree, still in place, which allows natural access to the foreshore. By natural I mean non trespass. Many years ago we used a burn up by Newton Stewart to gain access. Might be wrong. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David.geddes 0 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I would invite basc to rule on this matter of access to the wildfowling, as the club are not replying to e mails, so if anyone knows a basc member at their headquarters, Regards Dave Geddes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
