Scottish Land and Estates is the equivalent of the Scotttish CLA. Henry went to visit them to ask whether they could put him in touch with any ringtails, but there was no-one in. Henry doesn’t really get weekends. So Henry had a look through the window but he couldn’t see any signs of life….

It’s good to be in Scotland
An advantage of being in Scotland is that the Torygraph up here didn’t have this non-story in it. The disadvantage was that it had some quotes by the Scottish Gamekeepers’ Association instead.
