AS SCOTLAND’S deer stalking season gets into full swing, a web-based service to avoid conflict between walkers and stalkers has been relaunched.
Scottish Natural Heritage’s Heading for the Scottish Hills website allows walkers to check ahead for details of possible deer stalking taking place on estates where they plan to go hiking.
As in previous years, it is hoped this will reduce the chance of disturbing stag stalking during the peak season from late summer to October 20.
