Here is a little about the team who support Country Sport Scotland:

Kirk Norbury – Project Manager

Kirk’s deep connection to country sports and rural life stems from his upbringing on a farm and Pheasant shoot in the North-West of England. Growing up surrounded by the countryside, Kirk developed an appreciation for the outdoors and country sports which are an integral part of rural life. Thirteen years ago, he moved to Scotland, where he has continued to nurture his passion for the great outdoors. From a young age, Kirk was involved in various country sports, including; shooting, fishing and deerstalking. These activities not only honed his skills but also instilled in him a deep respect for the countryside.

Kirk’s passion for country sports is evident in his dedication to promoting and preserving these activities. As a skilled photographer and filmmaker, he has focused much of his work on capturing the essence of field sports and promoting country sports through his visual storytelling.

My mission is clear: to spotlight Scotland as a premier tourism destination and to champion the businesses and operators that define our incredible sector. I am deeply dedicated and passionate about cultivating Country Sports Tourism, showcasing unforgettable sporting experiences for visitors worldwide, whilst supporting the exceptional operators who shape this sector.
