Dr David Parish talks us through what's been happening at the Game & Wildlife Scottish Demonstration Farm at Auchnerran, on the publication of its first annual report.

Our new visitor centre will enable the GWCT to host larger groups of visitors to our Game & Wildlife Scottish Demonstration Farm at Auchnerran.
