How Shooting Transformed This Local Community: Primrose Hill


Listen Later

Charlie is joined by James Robson who runs Primrosehill shoot in the Scottish Borders. What started as a passion, Primrosehill grew into an ecosystem of businesses which all service one another and the community at large.

James shares the journey of buying the farm, starting a shoot, refurbishing the local pub, opening a pizzeria, and how fieldsports as a whole has a positive impact on the local community. They close by talking about dogs and James runs through his eclectic group of labradors, lurchers, and terriers.
