EDITORS COMMENTS
A Young Gillie and His Loyal Canine Companions on a Grouse Shoot in the Scottish Moors, 19th Century This evocative photograph captures the essence of traditional Scottish sporting culture, as a young gillie, dressed in full Highland attire complete with kilt and tartan, expertly guides his team of pointers and setters during a grouse shoot on the rugged Scottish moors. The gillie, a local gamekeeper and hunting assistant, plays a crucial role in the success of the shoot, using his knowledge of the terrain and the behavior of the game to ensure a productive day for the shooters. The pointers and setters, with their keen noses and unwavering loyalty, are essential partners in the hunt. As the gillie whistles commands, they fan out across the moor, their ears perked and eyes focused, searching for the scent of grouse. Once they locate the game, they use their distinctive barking to alert the gillie and the shooters, who take aim and fire, bringing down the birds for the team to collect. The rural countryside setting of this photograph, with its vast expanses of heather and rolling hills, is a testament to the rich heritage of Scottish grouse shooting. The scene is one of timeless beauty and tradition, as the gillie and his dogs continue their age-old pursuit of the elusive grouse, against the backdrop of the breathtaking Scottish moors.
