In Scotland you have to own land to shoot on or have permission from the landowner as we little public land to shoot on. No bow hunting but you can shoot rabbit and pigeon with a slingshot which seams illogical to me.

I live in County Durham and am always up in Scotland climbing, running in the mountains or fishing. In fact i'm off up to Portpatrick for a fishing trip this weekend. Whereabouts are you? Maybe we could meet up.
The sycamore will make great bows, heat treating turns it into a great bow wood. Ash, wych elm are both great and elder is a bit special :)

I'm in Campbeltown down in the mull of kintyre.
