Today is the #GloriousTwelfth, the start of the grouse shooting season and a celebration of the hard work of gamekeepers and estate workers.
I support sustainable grouse moor management because it delivers many benefits for Scotland’s rural economy, natural capital, tourism and the environment. @BASCScotland

Speaking at today's BASC & @AnglingTrust reception at the Liberal Democrat conference, Brian Mathew MP welcomed the role of shooting in preserving the British Countryside.
He said: "We all rejoice in nature, and we must all do our bit to make sure our countryside is protected."
BASC Scotland retweeted
This part of the Act has not yet come into force as it requires a start date to be set by the Scottish Parliament. We are currently developing the licensing scheme for muirburn and will confirm the start date as soon as possible.
BASC Scotland retweeted
Do you carry out muirburn for any reason? Please be aware that the muirburn season (the date from which muirburn can be carried out) will begin on 1st October as usual this year and not 15th September as set out in the Wildlife Management and Muirburn Act 2024.
