The Scottish Government is expected to publish the long-awaited Werritty Review on grouse moor management today.
Rumours have been rife for the last 24 hours, journalists have been in touch, and the late submission (yesterday) of what could be seen as a ‘soft’ (Government-initiated) Parliamentary question (see below) suggests this will be the trigger for publication today:
S5W-26768: Gail Ross, Caithness, Sutherland and Ross, Scottish National Party, Date Lodged: 18/12/2019
To ask the Scottish Government when it will publish Professor Werrity’s report on grouse moor management.
More later….

WERRITY REPORT
Nice full house of responses in your posts today.
Except. . . .
Oh Yeah . . .
Spot the missing ‘Stakeholder’?
Yup
Its SNH.
OK we know what they are doing. They are ‘testing the waters’, delaying to see just how polarised the reactions are.
And you have shown unanimous welcomes, but with the message for the Government to “Get on with it.”
from several agencies with any kind of genuine concern for wildlife
and one totally defensive response from a shooting industry interest group.
Absolutely predictable, but SNH need to realise that their bonafides is well and truly undermined by their own behaviour.
They need a new acronym: FLODFLAS:
First Line Of Defence For Landlords And Shooters
