| Gamekeeper - David |
David joined the Estate on the 1st July this year
as our new gamekeeper after Alastair moved back to the mainland to take up a
new post. Drew will continue to stay with us as the underkeeper whilst attending college during the year.

| Alastair on a shoot last year |
David has come from the Knockando Estate in Aberlour where
he was the stalker / ghillie. With over 20 years under his belt he is an
experienced gamekeeper having run the pheasant shoots, stalking for both red
and roe deer, along with fishing on the River Spey. At the same time as this he was responsible for the keepering at the Castle Grant shoots.
David has brought his own working dogs with him, a Labrador, spaniel and two pointers. One is still very much a
puppy that is still undergoing training and won't be out on shoots this year.

| The castle like Towers |
David has taken up residence at the Towers with his wife Jan
and their 4 year old son, also called David. David will be attending Shiskine primary school when term starts and is
enjoying living in a house that looks like a castle. Jan has been helping with the estates holiday
houses and is looking to meet new people on the island.
