Game licences - Scotland

The Game Licence has been abolished this year in England & Wales, but not in Scotland. If you're planning to shoot game, or go deerstalking, in Scotland this season - even as a visitor - you will need a Game Licence.

Game Licences will be all but impossible to buy in England and Wales this year (it was never easy!), but BASC Scotland have come up with a solution.

They have an arrangement with their local post office, so that BASC members can order a Game Licence through the BASC Scotland office.

The cost is the £6 Game Licence fee, plus £1 handling. Simply write to Game Licence, BASC Scotland, Trochry, Dunkeld, Tayside PH8 0DY. Tel: 01350 723 226. Email: scotland@basc.org.uk
