I recently discovered the YouTube channel of Kirby Allison. He has a series called "From Suit to Shoot," detailing every consideration for a traditional Scottish shoot, from attire, to guns, to etiquette, etc. This includes a visit to Purdey for his guns!

Fascinating series highlighting craftsman who still do things the old way.

Here's the trailer for the series:

And here's the episode covering his visit to Purdey:
 
Looks like I will book in some You Tube time.
I'd like to see some of the "Nice Stuff" but it's out of my budget.
 
Our Carruthers group is booked into an estate in Scotland next September for stag stalking and grouse shooting. The first two days will be around London hiring tweeds and visiting Purdeys, Rigbys Holland and Holland and Westley Richards. So this Suit to Shoot series is very relevant, thank you Rinehart.
 
Nice suit and definitely nice guns. But fake pheasant hunt. I've been on driven shoots in the UK, Scotland and Spain. There were no birds flying past him on the video which is absolutely impossible. Apparently that land he was on offered simulated driven shoots.

Here's a photo of Tony receiving that Shaw & Hunter award at the 1970 annual EAPHA Dinner Dance. Tony Dyer, then EAPHA President and Princess (Sunny) von Auersperg presented it. I also attended the event.
