Description
Tom Opre, the director of the film The Last Keeper, joins Chris and George to share an outsider's perspective on the thorny topic of land use, ownership and management in Scotland. The theme is that of his new film, which recently premiered. Tom explains his journey of discovery as he tries to understand the perspectives of both traditional land managers - like gamekeepers, crofters and stalkers - and the rewilding organisations and businesses buying up huge tracts of Scotland. Is there any hope of agreement, or at least detante, between the two sides? Tom also helps Chris and George to answer some listener questions, along with a unique and imaginative Desert Island Shooting, and one listener shares a smutty Drive Name.Find out more about The Last Keeper Find a screening
