A Scottish Seaside Shoot

This is a photoessay. Portpatrick, on the Irish Sea in far-southwest Scotland- driven game at the Corsewall Estate with Atkin Grant & Lang. "A good little shoot," the locals admit. Even in November it's a green and gentle landscape, with views stretching across the lochs and bays. But once the shooting starts, all eyes are on the skies. Tall or medium, the birds are always fast. Low? No go. Barbours and Wellies, springers and sidelocks, and the glow of camaraderie. And for elevenses, a wee dram to relive the shooting.
