Plummer and his books drew me to 2 things, the first was collie greyhounds and the second was Scotland.  From the moment I'd read all the books I dreamed of a blue mere half cross. But back then I cou

Don't know if it's just me but the older you get the faster it seems to go time that is.

Sadly I haven't been up for a good few years now. The last time I went we went island hopping off Orkneys. I took my old collie grey who I still have today but is 17 years old and on his last legs. I

I have given up the running dogs now. My only hunting is mooching with a catty for a few woodys or longtails or what ever. But that poaching blood never leaves you, that naughtness,  that adrenaline is still there I always think. Some pics of my last trip when my dog was still able do a bit.

Yeah went sanday but it had been hammered mate by time we got there . But I did love the islands . I think Scotland is our truly last wild place .

I think when you visit the Orkneys the memories last a life time. The son in law owns a patch of land on Sanday I have told him not to sell it as one day it might be his escape from the shithole of Rotherham.

When I went there was 2 pubs on island one open one shut, a chippy that only opened on certain days . One farm that gave us permo had an ambulance on it and was the islands resident ambulance. I have fond memories of that trip as it was the last big trip I had with my long term hunting partner of over 30 yrs before he sadly died of cancer a few years later.  He had been to Scotland with me numerous times and we had numerous escapades out poaching over the years . But the memories live on
