Was it any good? I was watching something about the Icelandic family sagas on BBC4... Why do they always put all the good stuff on at the same time?

It was good. Worth a look on BBC IPlayer. Glyn

I am not surprised in the estates they went to. My pals done some work on the Leadhills Estate and the amount of birds that were shot made it one of the most succesful in the UK. Frequented a lot by the Royals and the cream of capitalism. They used to tip funny money for a good day.
The other estate at Durisdeer is now all red legged patridge and it is a well run estate. There has always been suspicions in the Borders,Lowthers, Perthshire, Peebleshire, its the hen harriers the gamies hate and the goldies the 5h17 shovellers hate. I spotted 2-3 sus(laced stillborns) dead lambs left out last week in Sutherland.
