Glenalmond is a glen situated some 12 miles to the west of the city of Perth and forms the upper portion of the
strath of the River Almond.
The gamekeeper looks after an area of countryside to make sure there is enough game for shooting, or fish for
angling, and who actively manages areas of woodland, moorland, waterway or farmland for the benefit of game
birds, deer, fish and wildlife in general.
In 2006 certainly, The Glenalmond Gamekeeper was a dancer!
