"Armed with a tape recorder and two cases of whisky Bruce Sandison set out to track down one of Scotland's most colourful yet elusive characters: the highland gillie. The result is a marvellous record of a group of men whose traditional lifestyle is fast changing. For centuries, the gillie has performed the function of outdoor servant to the laird in pursuit of highland sport. Full of country wisdom and local knowledge the expert gillie must steer his master through a good day's sport. It is his lot to steady the harling boat on a salmon river, crawl on all fours through the wet heather in pursuit of a stag and shoulder the heavy grouse bag at the end of a day on the moor."
