Bird of prey case
The estate does not have any involvement whatsoever in the sporting management of the land in question, which is let on a long-term lease to a third party who has full rights and responsibilities for the management of sporting activity.
The gamekeeper convicted was employed by the third party and has never been employed by the estate.

Hide AdHaving co-operated fully with the authorities during their investigation and having been asked to be a prosecution witness, I am bitterly disappointed that the Crown Office did not see fit to clarify the estate’s position in its public statement following the case.
Cardross Estate is an estate that takes its land management responsibilities very seriously and is a business focused on the local community and the delivery of sustainable rural enterprise.
In particular, we are committed to contributing to the tourism offering of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
