High in the mountains of Scotland – during the early winter months – the annual harvest of wild deer is under way.

It’s a legal and mandatory cull which landowners must undertake as part of UK wide deer management strategy. This has evolved over many years to achieve and maintain healthy deer, other wildlife and plant species populations.

At the forefront of  food developments in the last 15 years, Scottish based Highland Game has tirelessly led the way and created a wide, healthy and nutritious range of venison products.

Over the coming weeks, we’re documenting the journey of venison, from hill to plate .
